Hi Timbo,

That’s not on my list , probably because no registration is listed in the chassis book.

Any chance of few pictures & info

Some years ago, I posted on the Forum about my love for mustard Interceptors.
VFK44 wrote:I posted this a couple of years ago, but it is especially relevant when a lovely mustard Interceptor is for sale:

When I was a kid, I was a complete petrolhead from as soon as I could talk. By the time I was about 9, in around 1972, I had decided my favourite car was the Jensen Interceptor (at the time I was, surprisingly, unaware of the Jensen 541). I desperately wanted a picture of one to hang on the wall. Back then, there was no Internet to dip into to find an image of a car, and we were too poor to buy car magazines. However, my Mum had been given a pile of glossy magazines - I think they were Essex Countryside - and inside one was a photo of a mustard coloured Interceptor being pushed hard through a corner. Out came my scissors and soon I had my picture. Mum was not impressed when she found the big hole in the page! A piece of cereal box as a backing, some drafting tape carefully applied as a frame, and some parcel string as a hanger, and it was ready to hang on my bedroom door. To cap it all, I used my new Dymo ® machine to create a label: I must have been serious as I used the premium gold metallic tape!
Move on 40 years, and guess what I found when clearing out my Mum's old junk in the spare room! Here it is after 3 decades of hiding:

It's quite unusual to find one without aircon which was still an option at this stage of RHD production. The large cutout for the Learjet would have been filled with a blanking plate and the smaller standard radio would have been set within that plate, as the 8-track option was not taken either.
