Hey all. In the process of trying to get this on the road and meet legal requirements in Alberta to pass inspection. I picked this up last fall in Cape Breton, heard about it while at a british club meeting in Halifax, NS with my dad. Bought it the next month drove it 500k to Halifax (took me around 30 minutes of nail biting to get used to RHD ) and then shipped it by rail to Alberta.
So far I've replaced things whether they need it or not, keeping good things as spares... don't want the inspector to have any reason to reject it....
-replaced transmission rear seal, new pan/seal and speedo seal
-replaced driveshaft u joints
-new oil pan and gasket
-oil pump seals, hoses and gasket
-rebuilt steering rack
-every part on left side front suspension cleaned replaced and all parts not replaced were powder coated, going to do rhs in the coming weeks
-new power steering pump and hoses
-have many other parts ready to go on
-superpro poly bush kit all round
-replacing all hoses with ptfe from evil energy
-new fuel pump to go on
This vehicle has a documented (I have a photo album) full restoration in the 90's by Sturdy and Lowe which I've tried to find info on but no success.

Hi I just joined the Forum because I am looking to buy an Interceptor. I am in Ontario. Are you still interested in selling yours. I would definitely be interested. Please let me know if you are. Thanks, Paul

It's looking good...
your find as well, right hand drive, don't panic it's easier to drive curb side, just hang back if you wish to overtake.. simples.
