117/2544

Post by FFPL »

This is my MK1 Vignale bodied interceptor that I have had for a couple of years now. I bought it from the original owner family in 2017.

Ulric has a good write up on the car on his site http://www.jensenmuseum.org/vignale-jensen-1172544/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Picture taken at the British car day held at the Larz Anderson museum in Brookline (Boston).

Lovely looking car! :D The wheels look great. Are they wider than standard?

I also wanted to talk about the wheels FFPL, they look so great as does the car, beautiful.. I know we touched on the subject a few years ago but never really got to the bottom of it all, are they widened/banded original rostyles? or are they a similar brand maybe from the USA? any help would be very much appreciated FFPL :wink:
Many thanks sportImage .. and your car is a credit to you..have one of these FFPL>>Image
Edit:
Very interesting read from the link to Ulrics site Paul.. thank you, I read this about the wheels>>
The Rostyle wheels have previously been modified (2000s), and are now wider than originally fitted.
So that answered my question thenImage

Yes the wheels have the original centres with a widened and larger diameter 16 inch rim. I have 215/60 16s (P7s) on it at the moment. It used to have 225's on the back but I think that was just too big. People really seemed to like the car at that show and we managed to get a 'best special interest' trophy. Not sure what that really means.

I didn't realize they were 16" Paul. In your paperwork do you have a contact or company name for the people that done the work to the wheels Paul by any chance?.. Thank you PaulImage

The car managed to win one of the major prizes which was nice. I was interested to see some of the comments from my daughters (26yr old) friends as she shared it to her facebook crowd. Apparently I'm a 'badass..'

Here's the pictures I submitted.

that is a good question. I'm assuming it is good as the young lad is a car guy.
