Interceptor film sighting

I haven't seen the appearance of the Interceptor in "Bottle Shock" mentioned before. The flm stars the incomparable Alan Rickman and is the story of the 1976 wine tasing competition where California wines beat the best French vineyards. The Interceptor appears in the background of shots ea...

Re: Classic cars on the road

Re: What's your 'I can't believe I spent that much buying th

Having the Interceptor engine and transmission rebuilt. I brought the car home from the mechanic and the wife said “I see you picked up the car.” I replied “yes” and that was it.

Re: The History of the forming of the JOC

Funnily enough, I have just received my file from Robeys thanks to Kieron and it had this letter in it and some follow up chat about forming a club between my Interceptor's first owner (Mr Bunker), the factory and Folletts. I like the idea of 'Dinner at the Savoy' Where else? Perhaps Claridges. I i...

Re: 2210/9552

2210/9552

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum but a friend just sent me photos of this Interceptor, here in Huntington, Long Island, New York. It was last registered in 2005 and looks rather neglected. I'll visit the garage and find out what I can about it.

I endorse all the congratulations. The Forum is especially important for those of us who live far from the birth-place of our favorite car.

Re: Classic cars on the road

Last weekend was the high level car show here at Americana Manhasset, a show where there are many more Ferraris and Lamborghinis in the car park than make it into the show. You can see that the Jensen was again in good company with a McClaren of some sort on one side and a 1952 DB2 on the other. The...
