MrSteve Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I hope they rented a big road sweeper to follow this pile of shit down the road. I am not sure why a Mk1 Interceptor built in Italy is so special- it does what any italian car does after a few years on these shores... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPER-RARE-MK1-JENSEN-INTERCEPTOR-6-3-BARN-FIND-OWNED-30-YEARS-99P-NO-RESERVE-/112478226502 RichardK, Uncle Jimmy, davocano and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 That Jensen is exactly why I don't read ebay listings. I m on people joke about them but fuck me and as it written by a child? "this car is super rare" said about a million times. No this car is a pile of rust and unless you nick someone else's it's all it'll ever be.

There's one or two mentions of people looking to buy it 10+ years ago and it being far too far gone and overpriced even then, it's amazing it held together long enough to be dragged out. The seats had apparently fallen through the floor 11 years ago and it's been there since 93-95ish. https://www.joc.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=8012 http://www.joc.org.uk/Interceptor_Mk_1/Chassis_Number_Car_Albums_-1/Pages/115_2541_13_SDV.html Lacquer Peel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years ago The A14 was stuffed so I came off , drove past the house and fuck me , under a sheet but there's no mistaking that back window , still there Now I know what happens to an interceptor stood on mud for 40+ years, it looks like it's been in the sea That's bought back some memories, I was a car nut from a young age, every Saturday I'd look at it for as long as it was in view. I'm sure I'm adopted, my dad made 2 Volvo estates and a Subaru last from 1978 to 2011 , I've had more cars than that in 6 months, I've got 3 and a van now Junkman, Laseraligningfoofooflanges, richardthestag and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skoda_fan Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Very scary that a car can deteriorate to that extent just by standing. In one of his undated pix it at least looks complete. Quite depressing, and a lesson to us hoarders! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felly Magic Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 That Jensen does need sweeping into a bin, there can't be much salvageable, unless ringadingding from the VIN plates, and someone's Interceptor mysteriously vanishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Environmental costs getting it out of the garden Though I'm a bit confused by parts receipts dated 1991unless there are parts with it, as there's no way it's got that bad in that timeframe if it was on the road in 1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flat4alfa Posted July 17, 2017 Share Posted July 17, 2017 If think that's answered above, but you won't need MOT if you have kept it on continunous SORN Which that doesn't have, as it left the road years before SORN came into affect (1998) Ringing material only.

Conrad D. Conelrad Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 A decent proportion of the 'good' tyres for sale on eBay qualify for this title. But I like this one because the listing includes a large amount of totally relevant information: I did a complete tyre change on my wife's 1994 Mayfair 1275 Automatic when she was going for a new job which involved a round trip of 40 miles a day. The job wasn't what she wanted so I put the now cleaned up old tyres in thick black bin bags and stored them in the loft. You stored the old tyres because she didn't like her job? Eh? Wear to the outer edge of the tyre. Could be fitted to rear with good tread to outside. The price reflects the defects. The price isn't zero though. She drove over fresh road markings prior to tyre change so small amount of white paint on tread. I assume your local tip does not accept tyres. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rover-Mini-Pirelli-Cinturato-CN54-145-70SR12-Used-No-2/152592503285 richardthestag, Dave_Q, Lacquer Peel and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
