Red interceptor spotted on M6

Post by Jon H »

Hi everybody,
Spotted a Southbound dark red interceptor on the M6 around Charnock Richard today just before 5.00pm. Only caught a glimpse as I was Northbound so don't know if it was Mk1, 2 or 3. Looked nice in the sunshine though. Just wondered if it was anybody in the club ?

Cheers,

Jon

Hi Jon,

Yeah that was me, just thought I would take her for a little blast, I've been putting up with a bit of vibration through the steering wheel for a good while, so I popped along to get my wheels balanced, massive improvement.

Couple of the young lads at the tyre place had never seen an Interceptor in the flesh so it made their day.

Regards
Gary

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply. I though it was probably a fairly local car. If you ever get down Knutsford way with the car, give me a shout and we'll meet up.

Good luck,

Jon

Hi Jon,

Sounds good if I’m around Knutsford I’ll drop you a line, I usually visit the Cheshire show if I’m home, used to enjoy driving around Pickmere many years ago with my first car Ford Escort 1.3 circa 1982

Hi Norbert,

I’ve had the car for 4 years now, the original colour was Cerise resprayed by a previous owner to a similar metallic colour I think to a popular Jaguar colour back in the 80s, I tried contacting a few previous owners to attempt to get a little history about the car but sadly they declined to reply.
I do have some history that the car suffered considerable amount of damaged many years ago 1973 I have correspondence from the owner to his insurance company and Jensen Motors Limited, also the car has been stolen once and 4 attempted thefts.
Enjoyed visiting/driving around some places near to Düsseldorf, Cologne or is it Koln, Münster, and Dortmund.

Best wishes from Wigan.
