Re: J-H in the current Classic & Sports Car magazine

Very interested in seeing they fitted fuel injection. Is there more information about that in the magazine - worthwhile to buy this edition?
Always thought the Lotus engine would benefit from having FI but there is not much information about owners having done that.

Ebay UK - new Armstrong Selectarides

Be quick, just a few hours to go.
Humber Imperial fitment, no idea if these are exactly the same as fitted to Mk1 Interceptors but could well be.

Re: Int3 on auto trader website

appears to have all the USA export bits such as side reflectors and extra stop light in the rear window. Side reflectors are easily added (some like the extra bling). A third brake light were not fitted to US spec (or any) Interceptors. They did not come out until the mid 80s I think. "Center ...

A trader probably would think that there's always another car round the corner.
Except there is not for such exclusive, unique machinery like the S-type of course.

Re: Future Path for ICE Vehicles…

JCB has developed a hydrogen engine to replace their diesel engine in their heavy vehicles. Sounds promising, especially for trucks and such.
Amazed and impressed this company did and does produce their own engines :D

Re: Int 2 at Shannons auction, Melbourne 123-4056

At the first glimpse I thought it was a FF. What is going on with the front end? That most-left headlamp sits too low. Is it me or is the lamps panel more inset dan usual (which made me think of a FF).
Who would choose to do the steering wheel in such a light colour. Gloves mandatory!

Of course Grant. I just wondered if you lost the art of reading Ebay adverts :D

That's what it said in the advert:
Originally a plain bonnet that has been converted to a louvred bonnet at some stage.

Re: Promotional Factory Photos

You can see it has the bigger steering wheel John, just about make out the pull up knobs for the door locks inside, but the conclusive clue is the pleats in the front seat backs go all the way to the top, where as the later ones have a pad there and the pleats finish lower down John https://joc.org...

Re: Jensens on TV

Maybe not on TV - although Amazon Prime calls its series "TV". Whatever, on The Peripheral, 2nd episode, there is a surprising shot of a Mk1 FF. Remarkable because this is a shot in the future, around 2075, in London. Almost no cars on the street except for the TX4 taxis (older type, succe...

Re: 74/75 INTERCEPTOR FOR SALE ON EBAY COMMENTS PLEASE?

Looks pretty good underneath and in the engine bay. Would have liked to see pictures of the fenders (one of the "bad points"). No mention of the rear and side windows and chrome although the car "is complete". Depending on how bad the wings are, a good buy if you can get it for 5...

Re: Restoration of FF 119/133

DIY is a necessity these days. Quite possibly Dave will not sell his new mounts, because he might be held liable if something breaks. If he would sell it would be wise to sell them as "showroom parts" only or something like that. The American way of suing everything/everyone, false or not,...
