Modified Cars - The Good , Bad & Ugly ..

[VFK44]

Like that interior, with the matching panels in the seat! The brass cabin hook is probably a bit OTT... How did you do the panels in the door?

[JHV8]

Yeah the brass hook was temporary until I could get a working glove box latch.
I had the interior done professionally and they said they couldn’t save the stainless steel strip when redoing the door panels so we agreed on using the grey perforated vinyl used for the seat inserts.

Found a recent photo on social media of the work carried out to the front end of the car being modified in Dubai..

I do like the front end of an early DBS but prefer it on a DBS....

That's the FF in the second picture of this post.

Dave it is that car, but that didn't start as an FF. It is an Interceptor based FF/Aston/Mazzer/Citroen look alike! Apart from the crazy stuff he is doing, he seems to be keeping the original motor, because what could replace the original and be an improvement? The car is finally in its life getting some TLC on the other bits. He is going to be driving round Dubai or the Middle East in it. The extra side and bonnet vents could have a genuine cooling function!

The good, I love this 50’s Italian style front bumper.

wow!!!
what a collection - but it must always fit to the philosophy of the car.

The muscle car with compressor - quite for sure interesting, I've done this with some Mustangs and Chevelles, but it must fit to the character of the car.

the one I'm really saying it's artwork is the car with added alloy sheets fixed by blind rivets. I would have left the front bumper and sidesteps away, the so named sidepipes except of bumpers and sidesteps will also get allowance by technical inspection in Germany and Belgium/Netherlands/France...

To exchange the airfilter to an open one like the Edelbrock one is standard for me.

I'd like to keep this very special design of the Jensens in original - only doing changes hidden under the hood and inside the car, but this is my opinion.

Well said!

[Wolfgang]

nice car - everybody has his own style and characteristic. I always like the discussions about customizing..

one of my last ones I customized
unfortunately in Europe we have to get plates regulated by technical inspection (TÜV, Autokeuring, etc) so we're relatively limited...

All you petrolheads - have a nice evening

Cast your minds back to the Orange Interceptor a few years back.

Here it is , now remodelled and in grey ..

To each their own
But, I do like the bonnet

[Martin R]

I prefer it now in grey and without some of the body mouldings. I wonder how the engine and interior are now?

[Wolfgang]

he lowered the car by about 20 millimeters (I've done the same but with standard wheel tyre combination it had contact with the fender, so I've to put it back in the original condition), the rest is a lot of glass-fibre job, looks a little bit more sportive - it depends on the style you like individually.

From the inside it seems that he implemented semi-racing seats (maybe Sparco but I'm unable to detect the logo correctly)

Sidepipes - I wonder where he placed the mufflers...?

also interesting - if there are modifications regarding the engine...?

no chance for TÜV in Germany or autokeuring in Belgium...

have fun
Wolfgang
