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....

Can't believe someone actually imported one of these. The UK used car market keeps on giving!

I assume that's the same 2.2 litre Mitsubishi power* plant as in the K-body Le Baron I once owned?

Most definitely, they are all K-car derivatives.

Somebody has the temerity (there you go, when was 'temerity' last used in anger?) to ask £3.5k for this old smoker. For the love of god, do not restore.

I actually rather like this too.  Still looks smart in that colour, interior not too garish, and it has a six speed box.  BOOM!

And you get a fiver change from a monkey....

Still, where else can you get eight forward gears for a monkey?

Eight forward gears.  My god, it’s full of win!

How about this?  Where else can you get INFINITE GEARS for a monkey and still get an Ayrton back?

'Wants an MOT'. Looking at it, not convinced the thing wants to live at all.

Sample ad text - really.

LWB means even more misery and you'd need a larger paddock to leave it in. £2k to say you have a Roller though.

It was for sale a week or so ago for £1200 less according to anoraks on FB. Maybe via ACA?

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.

I have a Camry search on eBay and I'm amused to see nearly-new UK models making an appearance on there.

[Spottedlaurel]

One of those utilitarian estates sold alongside my hatchback Sunny, from the days when the Japanese manufacturers often kept the previous-gen wagon running alongside the replacement saloon/hatchback:

Apart from the wheelz and price.  That's quite nice* 

But would look better done to a mk2 because pop up for the win.
