Not really on topic but just asking an opinion. I have an Interceptor SP build 131/4592 1972. I am 3rd owner and have dribble restored her over 30 years. Body is rust free according to a pro restorer last July with new bonnet fitted at time. Mechanically excellent with literally no expense spared on work ALWAYS carried out by pros. Interiour very good. Mileage 112K from last 30 years. Very quick I.E 0-100 5.7. driving is without exaggerating like a new car. No over heating......ever since radiator changed many years ago. Everything is (excepting engine) with some minor under bonnet improvements original. Respray last year to Toyota Lone Pine a very nice colour.
Am considering selling my SP build 131/4592 and am in Australia. Not much of a market here as auctions are heavy with basically over the top priced Aussie "icons" cars ie GT 351 Ford Falcons/Monaros. Basically morphed into red neck territory.New money.
However when car was purchased 30 years ago I took too Scorchers Ltd for opinion. They were blunt "give us an open cheque book and we can look at it". Upshot was they found the original block was f*(^%$ed as they found it had been used as a race pace car for some years running on red hot. Was already rebored out 60 so they pulled it out and put in a completely new one and fitted all new oversized pistons /headers and built to new specs with 6 pack removed as was dangerous and now fitted with new 780 street Avenger Holley on an Edelbrock Torker 440
New brake pistons fitted plus new discs over the years. Back then no one really cared much about Jensen "originality" and matching numbers on many car models. Easy convert to 6 pack.
Overall i have to say would gain a 3 on insurance Hagerty's. An elegant car but I have age limitations ...81.... and have some licence restrictions. Not concourse by any means but might get a bronze. Question is how much in a 10,000sq meter ball park price range is she worth in UK. I will probally sell her in Australia eventually though. Will be a sad day until my Ferrari arrives

Thoughts please. Kenny38
