It was a bit dark and I was taken by surprise so didn't get a proper look, but I think I saw something interesting in West Calder sometime last week. Was it an Interceptor? Anyone know?

If it's the car I'm thinking of then it's the only one like it I've ever seen.
Was it a lightish blue?

I don't know, it was getting quite dark but I think it might have been burgundy-ish.

Not the one I'm thinking of then. I'll keep a look out for it though because there seems to be a few interesting cars tucked away in garages in the area.

Makes a change from the glut of grey Astons and black 911s clogging up Edinburgh.

Must be something to do with the miles of empty roads out the back of West Calder.
Driving in Edinburgh is getting scary with the size of some of the craters that have appeared. Maybe that's why every second car is a Cayenne or Range Rover.

Fair few X6s knocking about as well. Hideous things.

Popped into my local bodyshop today and seen they had an Interceptor in (West Lothian). Absolutely beautiful car but won't name the bodyshop or the colour of the car incase the owner doesn't want the whereabouts of his/her car known.

Yep I've seen it too. Travel through West Calder every day (Lanark-Livingston) and had the Jensen behind me a week or so back. But it's rarity was eclipsed when on Thurs eve an Excalibur appeared on the same stretch of road. I thought at first it was kitcar wedding car but when he closed up behind me I realised this was no standard kit car... huge width, rapid acceleration... never got a chance to hear it as he turned off up towards Carluke at the last roundabout. I checked the Reg No later online..true enough an Excalibur! Delighted I'd seen something from my old Top Trumps days!

An Excalibur? Impressive!

There’s a white Jensen Interceptor in Glasgow, owned by a PHer. Don’t know how many others there are around the Central Belt.

Excalibur.....beautiful cream coloured dream machine

The owner has had quite a few interesting cars over the years.
His Lister Jaguar was stunning as is his house.

My old friend pulled up outside ourweehouse in his Excalibur. What a sight, what a sound, this is one very large automobile, I can't call it a car as it doesn't do it justice.
Great views from the passenger seat when I had a run around the Lanark area.
