Chris Harber meeting
Chris Harber meeting
If anyone's Interested I was with Chris Harber today(Medway Interceptors 80's/90's)talking Jensens for about 5 hours
Everything's the same apart from Grey Hair on both of us
Chris said at one point he had 62 Interceptors that he was breaking back then..I remember them in lines in those barns there, it was quite a sight as many of you may remember if you ever went there.
He's still in the same place but leaving before this Christmas after his 35 year stint.
Any comments welcome

Re: Chris Harber meeting
Would be great to see some old photos from Medway Interceptors.
Especially barns full of Interceptors.

Re: Chris Harber meeting
I was so busy Gassing to him for 5hrs EddyMan and I had seen the set up all those years ago I just didn't think of it
Where's the Old School Mob>> John Wild, Peter Rothery, those sort of Reprobates?. Surely someone from back then took Pics?? If Not I'll ring Chris about some as you've now got me on it EddieMan

Re: Chris Harber meeting
I too went down and had a chat with Chris today, first time I've had the pleasure, seems a nice guy and obviously very knowledgeable, he said he's leaving the scene altogether including selling his mk1 interceptor, hopefully he'll still be around in an advisory capacity once he's sold up

Re: Chris Harber meeting
Medway Interceptors was almost like a second home to me . I remember he had a few FF's that were being scrapped (!!!) and a lovely 541S manual 100/1080 That needed restoring. I copied some parts of that car, Chris was kind enough to allow me to make detailed drawings and patterns. But I did not take any photos of the barns or the cars !!! Is the 541S still around? Chris was a good bloke, I think he sold his stock to Re-Jen.

We did talk briefly about you Francis..Chris said you still owed him £12.50 from April 1987 for a Handle?Frankoid wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 9:51 am Medway Interceptors was almost like a second home to me .

Re: Chris Harber meeting
Yeah right . I got a lot from him, including 4 vent dash for the FF, and lots of trim pieces. Spent a lot of money there as you do, those were the days!Grant wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 11:54 amWe did talk briefly about you Francis..Chris said you still owed him £12.50 from April 1987 for a Handle?Frankoid wrote: ↑Thu Nov 17, 2022 9:51 am Medway Interceptors was almost like a second home to me .
