Correction: that's an FF, not an Interceptor.

Got a few more famous names from this thread...

https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/top ... &t=1368014

Eric Morcombe - Had a heart attack while driving his... (see below)
Cliff Richard (mentioned)
Malcolm Allison (football Manager)
Sir Matt Busby
Harry Rule
Suzi Quatro
Lord Carrington
Eric Morley
Brian Spicer (Big Bertha)
Col. A K Brown
Mike Yarwood (YVF 415L)
Dave Hill of Slade (see below)
Stuart Hall
Ian Hendry

Now I don't know half of these people, but you guys probably do!

And I am pretty sure Neil Young has a CV-8 or a 541....

PS - Other interesting observations that I found by googling away – like Mike Yarwood and Eric Morcambe had a relationship as their comedic television programs were consecutive. And it turns out that Susie Quatro was a warm-up act for Slade. Is it possible that all these people got into Jensens because they were rubbing elbows in show business?

Hi Bommel... Maybe not quite what you were looking for...but my Int III was owned by the owners of Trident Studios in Soho when they were doing things like recording Hey Jude for the Beatles, and was subsequently owned by the Bass Player for the Everly Brothers.... PM me if you want to know more..... Reg
