Lawrence,

I'm a luddite and like cars to be as they left the factory. But .. in this case .. I like it a lot!

It's looking good, but every time it's shown on here "it's going to be finished in ****"

Will it ever be finished?

Is it still owned by Mr Anderson (no relation)?

It is looking good I have to agree, but as you say will it ever be finished? Apparently it's being sent off some time this Month to have the Interior fitted and then after that I assume it'll all be finished. It's still owned by Mr. Anderson, but have no idea what he's doing with it, weather he's selling it or not. Would certainly love to see it at the International though.

I think it looks awsome, well done.

The purests wont like it BUT

I wonder how the Interceptor would have looked had the compamy not have folded in the 70's? maybe not a lot different to your version perhaps!

Have to agree with you there, this is a complete one off unlike the so called R which in my opinion is wrong.

Nothing like this, as the F Type replacement was already in prototype form. However, one problem with the F was the length of the doors, a subject the cause of much argument between Sales and Engineering at the time, due to the likely difficulty of getting in and out of the car in average car parks and garages. So maybe a restyled Interceptor would have been a temporary move.

I like it too, more now than when I first saw it. Still some details I don't like. The monster door mirrors and the rear lights with the little bit of front styled grill between them. Also, when modifying a car, I think some consideration to where the front number plate goes would be a good idea. It will compromise the look a good bit. Other than that it's great 8)
Looking forward to seeing it finished

I like the back, just don't like the rear grill on it. The front Number plate it going to be going beneth the grill on the passenger side.
