HI

I (sort of) have a Jensen Interceptor MK II, 7.2 litre V8. It was my brothers and I was doing a full refurb of it a few years ago, before i was posted to Cyprus.
So I left it in a spray shop/Garage at Brize Norton (oxfordshire) and it has been up there for about five years now!!

The owner of the aforementioned spray facility was supposed to be doing some work on it, but that has never really happened. So it is at the moment a shell with back axle attached and most of the parts to put it back together. Engine gearbox suspension, bodyshell has been back to bare metal and all new bodyparts and painting etc done...

I am off to the falkland Islands next thursday, and dont really know what to do with it??

Was wondering if anyone on here wants a little (!!) project, the car was my Brothers, who is unfortunately no longer with us. So as you can see i would like it to go to a good home..... Or better still become a very big team (Scoobywales) project...

Any ideas co's I am


Cheers Paul

 

Wow a muscle car of the 70s if only i had the time ,money and the space to put it. good luck anyway.

 

paul i would love to take this on,its my dream to restore a classic but i havent got the space but i will ask around for you.when you going.

 

hello i would be very intrested in this project my dad has been wanting one for years to restore as he is now retired and very bored how much would you want for it thanks Rick...

 

Hi Daz

I go next thursday night, for four glorious months. Me going should not be a problem, i am still contactable by e mail etc and i can liase with the guys at the garage and stay in contact with you.

I often see groups of people on here, helping each other out and wondered if we could not do this as a group project... The guys at the garage want the space (understandably)

Whadya think, the alternative could be the scrap yard if i am not too careful



Cheers Paul

The guys at the garage want a drink (£300, they must drink alot) and i want this to go to a good home and not the knackers yard. I would just love to see this car give someone the pleasure it gave my brother, i would settle on seeing it once in a while just to appreciate it. Say if it came to one of the J30 meets, that sort of thing. Or even better the Pencoed Classic Car Show.

Money is most definitely not the issue here

What do you think

Cheers Paul

Ps The guy at the garage originally wanted....... wait for it..... £25k for storage!! I talked him out of this

Pps We would farely obviously need to get this back to Wales on a trailer etc, now with a bit of help that may not be a big issue....

 

Paul,

Is there no where on "Saints" to store this...

I can always keep an eye on things if there is

hello have just spoke to my dad and he is very intrested do you have a postcode of whereabouts it is so he could do a route planner to see how far it actually is for him to go.. his friend has a pick up truck and he is situated in wales .... we are situated in manchester ..... 25 k storage !!!! was it in a penthouse apartment ?? thanks Rick

I work in an office at St Athan and a classroom, it may a bit obviouse.... The days of motor clubs and the like seem to have gone... There is also the issue of time and money, and possibly having to move the car twice.

Cheers though, Paul

The car is at OX18 1AE approx. So how are you on Scooby Wales and you live in Manchester

I would really like to see the car agian and Manchester is a long way....

However, i would rather someone got some pleasure from this, than it was scrapped....

Cheers Paul

trader

Cheers Paul

 

i am a trader but am not intrested in cars like this !!!... i just seen it and knew it would be of intrest for my dad to restore that was all ..... hope it all goes well paul and you see the car in all its glory once restored thanks anyway Rick..

 

Daz, can I take it you bought the car then.

 

oh a winter project, can't wait

 

Hi All

Yes Big Daz has stepped in to save the day... The way I think it works is his neighbour is having the car and doing it up with help fom Daz... He is back from Pontins on Monday and can let you all know the score on winter projects (or not)

So more on monday

Cheers, as ever, for all the support on here,

Paul

 

thanks paul,it could be a winter project if any of you want.theres a bloke that lives by me that has just built an ac cobra for his son,and he has always wanted to restore a classic,i knew the situation with pauls brother and thought this would be the perfect loving home.and this way i can help and paul can come and watch progress, job done all is well and everyones happy.

 

Good news Daz, are you going all pimp my ride

 

oh yes

 

Pimp it baby yeah..!

 

Jensen Mmmmmmmmm nice wheels, hate to fill it up though bet its not the most economical

 

Wide is soooo right... I went from my brothers in Cheivley to J35 and back and it cost £250+ 8 mpg Not great figures but once in a while it was a magic car to drive..... could possible do a group buy on fuel everybody puts in a pound and gets a few feet to drive......

Cheers Paul
