Interesting that the right hand front wing has an unusually shaped vent, very sharp edges. The left hand front quadrant of the car is apparently not welded on and has a different shaped hole in the wing for the side vent.

Looks like a replacement bonnet & passenger door.

Seriously deep pockets to get the car back on the road ..

Love the steering wheel, although not sure its original.

There is also a seriously rare car behind the Interceptor - a Winchester London taxi cab. These were made in tiny numbers in the sixties (even rarer than the Beardmore cab, I believe) and had a fibreglass body, and were licenced for use as Hackney Carriages. The eccentric rear lights (Ford Corsair??) may even be original as it had mostly Ford running gear - Kent 1600cc engine - although originally it just had small separate Lucas lenses.

I remember seeing one parked in London in the late sixties.

Not fitted by Jensen. Wooden work.
