Tadhg Tiogar Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 9 hours ago, Wack said: When I were a lad In the early 1970s I used to pass through a village in Leicestershire with my dad every saturday morning, in the front garden of a terraced house on the main road was a Jensen interceptor, parked nose in. Every week in the same spot , this was at the height of the fuel crisis when a lot of big engined cars got taken off the road , in 5 years it never moved gradually getting dirtier About 10 years ago I got diverted off the A14 through the same village , gobsmacked to see it was still there under a tarpaulin but that back window stood out. A couple of years ago the owner must've died and it came up for sale , or what was left of it did Looked like it snapped in half when they pulled it out , apparently the owner had had numerous knocks on the door but wanted stupid money for it as it was an early mk1 so it rotted away instead I wonder how much of it had blown away on its final journey , just 4 wheels and a drive train when he got off the motorway , there's no way I'd have transported that on an open truck ... The owner replaced it with a Jag, I think, which is now rotting away in the same spot.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did sell them in some markets, but more limited than the previous-gen version. Confusingly, also sold with Mark II badging, which as a saloon is a completely different RWD model. That Norwich one looks alright. I came here to post this fine specimen, pretty decent value I reckon with the low mileage. Strange that they did some of the late V6 models with steel wheels and velour interior, makes for a bit of a Q-car though especially in domestic appliance white. Spare wheel cover fabric looks to be intact, which is unusual and suggests it's led a fairly gentle life. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Camry-Estate/123908299474 I have a Camry search on eBay and I'm amused to see nearly-new UK models making an appearance on there. wuvvum, clayts450, Dick Longbridge and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
