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

Interesting...............good luck with piecing that back together............must have been bought as a parts car, or for its identity..I suppose the drive train is worth a few bob though............

After god knows how many listings on Ebay, the "police car" Park Avenue Ultra is for sale once again, probably still missing some seats. The interesting thing about this one obviously is the supercharged 3800, a glorious engine and worth buying for that alone. Too bad the rest of the car is mostly ruined.

It's a good job most of that Interceptor must have blown away in the wind. That Transit must weigh 3,490kgs without a load on the back.

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.

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....
