Not my car, but the wife's.....here are a few pictures of her car which we have had re-commissioned after being off the road since 1991.
More than expected mechanically especially with interior body parts that had been installed wrong by the previous owner otherwise known as botched!!
But getting there and so a few minor repairs to paint work and then the roof etc until next year when we can get the seats etc renovated etc.

Very nice Clive and Lyndsey. I don't think I remember seeing a J-H in that colour before. Goes well with the Moss Green Interceptor.

Re: JH Back On The Road Since 1991
Regarding the colour - officially it is Magenta which from what I see in this car records was chosen as it was a Jensen colour but apparently only a few Interceptors were done it for the USA market??
It came out of the factory light blue (sorry forgotten the official name), similar to the Healey / Triumph Baby Blue / Duck Egg Blue
The car was re-sprayed the same colour about 4 years ago but it really was a rubbish job and so when we get around to re-spraying it again, the it will go back to the original colour. In the meantime it is trying to get the car clear of botch it jobs and so the list is still long and the over all "Jensen" to do list is growing with the two cars..... thank god I'm not into concours!!
