Tonight's (18/03/21) Car SOS Jensen Interceptor Restoration

[colin7673]

Isn't the illegal then you not having a TV Licence then Colin?

I guess you watch no live TV at all ?

If you do not watch life TV, BBC IPlayer or record live TV then you do not need a TV license, I just watch things a little later than everybody else and with the Apps can watch other programmes from "English" speaking counties. Canada have some good things Australia is interesting so much more choice. But always useful using a VPN for some Apps

Anyone not seen it https://youtu.be/8ulCnzIss34 youtube have it free to watch. (Edit: I have updated it to include the Youtube link now it is on there)

Quite rusty that one, a lot of people would have wrongly said it was past it. I think it was genuinely worse than they expected, but they were desperate to do an Interceptor. Interesting to know how quickly they did it as well, 1800 hours. They mostly used all the old panels and repaired them, which I expect saved time and money. Interesting to see the fuel tank they made, pulse TIG welding and no filler rod, no flux. I like this old skool garden shed guy Pete Williams https://youtu.be/rw5lYMmxSB0 who also uses no filler rods, instead he cuts off strips of the aluminium and uses that so it is all the same metal used. He then flattens and mirror polishes the weld. Because there is no different filler, Pete's joints are literally invisible when cleaned up.
On a tour of the Aston factory in the 90s, you could see a very feint line where they had used an aluminium filler rod, which is useful for quality control if you are going to paint the end product. There are youtubers that do manually pulsed (foot switch etc) TIG welding of mild steel panels and repair sections without using filler rods.

You must have a TV Licence if you:

watch or record programmes on a TV, computer or other device as they’re broadcast,
download or watch BBC programmes on iPlayer – live, catch up or on demand.

I managed to watch it on the dailymotion channel before it was removed. Overall quite good and complimentary to the Jensen car. Tim was won over and I thought I'd seen it reported somewhere has sold his Mustang (or some such other car) and bought, or is buying, an Interceptor for himself. I think I would give two criticisms, firstly the technical content has become very light, we don't see much actual work on the car in the programme, for example it had a full retrim and renewed veneer on the centre console but we saw nothing of that and secondly they fitted a very loud exhaust system. These were supposed to be grand touring cars with refinement, not noisy shouty boy racer cars with loud exhausts. I would imagine the exhaust noise inside the car would become quite tiring and annoying on a long journey. This of course is my own opinion on exhaust noise.
