Well, as a Triumph fan, I'd take the Jensen!!
It's funny. I've always thought of the Interceptor as being quite a big car but it actually looks smaller than the Stag.
There this thing called perspective...It's funny. I've always thought of the Interceptor as being quite a big car but it actually looks smaller than the Stag.
But I know what you mean, there's an Interceptor I see quite frequently and it's not *that* big.
Oddly, the Stag has more usable rear seats.

Not really – he'll obviously take the TR6. 
Actually its the Beetle parked outside work today 
I don't fit in the TR6 - bit of a issue really, but to be expected at 6ft5. So that one is solely Dads runaround.
Edit... Thought I'd also add a photo of the latest member of the family. This one is so new it's not even home yet. 1963 original 1071cc Cooper S.

Rare as the proverbial hen's teeth, what a lovely find! One to watch methinks...
Indeed, I couldn't quite believe it when I got the phone call to tell me about it. To be honest, I didn't really have the cash to buy it having just paid for the TR6, but it was too good an opportunity to miss.Borrowing a mate with trade plates later to go and collect as it has no Tax/MOT, but drives brilliantly considering it has been tucked away for 10 years.

Well played, looking forward to seeing / reading more on this little fella! Any history with it..? Just spent a happy hour or so fettling and polishing my Mk2 S
Not a great deal of history, very sporadic in terms of supportive paperwork. It is however 'numbers matching' to the original build sheet, and has clearly never been apart. Even has the original plastic protective film over the Austin badge on the engine that has never been removed,

9F / SA.. engine number, lovely stuff! Amazing that the car has survived for so long untouched, is the two tone interior in good nick? Before I bought my Mk2 S I had a late '65 Mk1 1275 S which had never been restored, it was Island Blue / Old English White with two tone grey interior with gold brocade, including the factory front fitted recliners. I should have kept it...
With hindsight, we'd never have sold anything Edited by P5BNij on Tuesday 16th August 11:47
Interior is very very good. It's a little tatty all over, but its wearing 53 years of age quite well.So its out in daylight, having the fluids changed, being given a once over, and hopefully receiving an MOT.
