quicksilver Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 For the first time this year we were actually able to attend this show. It's only 8 miles from home but in previous years we'd always managed to avoid finding out about it until a few days afterwards A free event in the Market Square and High Street, there were probably about 150 cars there including a lot I hadn't seen before, so here's some highlights. You know it's going to be a good show when you park next to a beige Wartburg H633 LJO - 1990 Wartburg 1.3 by Adam Floyd, on Flickr This Hunter is lovely CUJ 339L - 1972 Hillman Hunter 1500 DL estate by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Not sure if this shonky ZX was supposed to be part of the show or just left here L704 NFC - 1994 Citroen ZX 1.8i Aura by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Genuine patina here, makes a change from fake rat look B143 NLT - 1985 Volkswagen Passat 1.8 CL estate by Adam Floyd, on Flickr SVM people carrier G441 RGA - 1989 Volvo 740 GLE Nilsson limousine by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Mini on a mission from Brackley's German twin town WW-MC 666 - Austin Mini Mayfair by Adam Floyd, on Flickr Bono's Lotus?

NorfolkNWeigh Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Did you get any pictures of the Jensen Coupe, parked between the Wartburg and the MGF? These really were an odd thing, an uglified Interceptor based on the convertible complete with Marina " Coupe" badges. Presumably towards the end of the company , money was too tight to buy hoods so they cobbled these together - awful. Must be the rarest Jensen.

quicksilver Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 Here you go: TBU 904R - 1976 Jensen Interceptor III Coupe by Adam Floyd, on Flickr It was one of three Interceptors there. Only about 50 of these were made in Jensen's dying days, basically convertibles with hardtops cobbled on by Robert Jankel at Panther Westwinds using Jag XJ6 back windows.
