I do like a yellow Interceptor.

It has Rover SD1 door handles as fitted by Jensen Cars in the late 80s.

I bought it! Rather optimistically I drove it straight back to Bedford after the auction. Made it in one piece, but with far less braking power than when I started, one less wheelnut and a terrifying tendency to stall half way across major road junctions.
All in all, money well spent

Welcome to the world of Jensen ownership Mark.

You will get lots of help and advice on the forum.

Glad you made it home in one piece

A drive to remember! Buy a full set of wheel nuts and studs instead of just one as they break if abused. Lots of info on the forum about the ideal torque for tightening them - this is critical for Interceptor alloys.

Mark, Bedford isn't that far from our International Weekend at Horwood House this weekend, why not bring the car along? There will be a number of people there with spanners if you have problems on the way

Saturday has a drive out and dinner dance in the evening, Sunday is the car show bit of it. Not sure if you have joined the club yet but you can speak to Keith Andrews (Mem Sec) at the show

Thanks all for the welcome and advice. Thought I'd pop along to the International on Sunday, but the Jensen will be staying at home until I've got the brakes sorted out.
