Of course! Rectangular overriders and you can just see the angular shape of the dashboard top.

On Ebay US with a slightly optimistic price.
115/3274 is on the list with pics from half a year ago. Seems it gained red primer paint and some cheap interior repairs.

I scrolled to the previous post to see the older pics and was amazed at the difference a coat of paint made; then I realised I was looking at a completely different rotten Mk1 in a post by Eddie!

This car looked like this:

funny enough I am just doing an update on this car. I believe it is for sale in the USA. I was surprised at the colour difference from the original facebook photo and those posted in the current eBay advert. https://www.joc.org.uk/Interceptor_Mk_1/115_3274.html

From the Ebay seller:
I believe it to be original burgundy exterior from looking around the car but have not confirmed.
Clearly has been painted after the Fb picture - the rust patch on the dent on the front now has paint on it

It is a shame about the trim repairs and door cards. I would have liked whatever was there before more, however bad! The comment about Burgundy paint is a little bizarre after you have just painted it in red oxide for the photos! :D
The primer might slow the rust down a little until restoration eventually begins. I would imagine it is being stored inside which is a big plus. That seller has had some reasonably priced Jensen projects in the past on ebay. There was a solid looking Mk2 that springs to mind.

Hi Steve

Here's 115/3366 coming up for auction. I can't see this one on the survivor's website? Thanks to Jason Lawrence for bringing this to my attention, as it also has a mocha interior.

Two-tone mocha and black dashboard. Yummy! What colour was it when it left the factory?

Thanks it is a new survivor and I will update records when my computers talk to each other. I capture on one and update on another.

Hi all

I believe that this car was Ex Factory on 09.05.69
Originally Metallic Fawn with a Mocha Interior
Original Registration No AGJ 33 G

As it has been in the current ownership for 27 years, i propose to check adverts from circa 1994 for any earlier history

Kind regards

Not sure whether this means 115/2817 has been scrapped? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Jensen-Inter ... 635-2958-0
