RWR 978M Int 3 at Mathewsons auction

A rather frank review in the video about the apparently low oil pressure, tyres etc which might not help sell it.

Really great video - Great to see a Jensen Interceptor being reviewed and yes oil pressure could be anything; easy to double check.
Overall a good looking Jensen needing some Rust TLC but only a few thousand to get this done properly.
Love the red seating
cheers

Still one of many other lots in the buy it now section as of today. I think I would have been tempted to take the money and run with a provisional bid of that magnitude....

Back again for another go in October. Can't see it doing any better than last time personally...not even if you were to add a six pack and a few SP badges.

Re: RWR 978M Int 3 at Mathewsons auction
This a typical auction price for a Jensen 3. Looking hard at the pics I think the chrome is a bit sus. Also we didn't see the front seats. A car such as this would get around $45K at an Australian site. I think vendors only go auction when no hope of successful, private very close inspection. I have said that only poor/medium cars go to auction which gives the marque a very false average price to the punters. Prices in OZ seem to match UK prices for QUALITY cars. The last 3 S3 cars went for average of $110K and an SP 125K. So prices are very similar. Quality cars are hard to find and usually dealers have them. If at auction beware of signs that a tarp has been taken off prior to expert detailing. Was in Port Macquarie recently on club outing. A man in a sharp tight suit with large brown shoes came up and told me he owned a string of realestate offices in country towns and asked me if car was for sale. I said no but he offered me a bank transfer on the spot for $100K.Thanked him for his interest and went for a pee. Missus doesn't know. Kenny38

Kenny,
Mate, everything's for sale if the price is right!
Around 15 years ago, I had someone come up to me and ask if I'd sell my car. Back then, a top notch Interceptor Mk III would have gone for around $40 to $45k, so I said $50k.
I saw the same guy around 4 to 5 years ago and he said that he'd regretted not buying my car then
Cheers, Dino

Re: RWR 978M Int 3 at Mathewsons auction
Hi, Dino. Havent seen you since an Adelaid rally. I really liked your car then even if some present sniffed that it had been "molested". Glad you didn't take the money and are you hoping to attend national Rally Blue Mountains next year if your premier will let you out? Kenny38
