You sod! I was already lusting after the CV8 a few posts back, but now I'm drooling over your Interceptor. My Good Lady would accept nothing less than a 541R though...

There was a very sad looking Interceptor languishing in the back yard of a shop in Three Bridges, Crawley some time in the late 1990s. So rough was it that I suspect it may have gone for scrap.

Taking this tomorrow. Please be dry !

[130R]

I'm going on Sunday as a friend of mine is racing. I'll just be taking my daily BMW 235i though.

Yes very appropriate today.

It was awfully wet.

No matter, forecast for Saturday and most of Sunday is dry at least

Motco, alas so many did get scrapped.
You didn't happen to get a photo by any chance?
The Jensen Owners Club is keen to keep track of the entire production run. (Mk 1 especially)..

Btw I like the 541 too

Taking this tomorrow, come rain or shine.

Looks terrific.
A neighbour had one that I lusted after for many years.
Enjoy your day.

Take a boat. It would have been useful today. Not sure how the carparks are going to be tomorrow... I hope the night is spent putting some woodchip or straw down... But it will need a lot.

Indeed.....thats the most waterlogged I've seen the car park fields (and everywhere else) in past 10 years or so......

I'm afraid I did not get a photograph - it was before the common availability of digital cameras and I didn't have a film camera to hand. Even earlier I worked for GKN at a riverside site in Chiswick and a senior GKN Transmissions executive turned up one day in a Ferguson Formula Interceptor which cost more than the house I had just bought. This was no later than 1969 and no earlier than 1967. Similar age to yours I suppose. I viewed one with a possible purchase in mind in the mid-eighties I think it was. It was owned by an owner of a caravan and trailer fittings shop in Mollison Way, Colindale. It was a reasonable price but the engine was a bit smoky unfortunately.

Another GKN tale; Transmissions built a one-off Lotus Europa (Lotus 47) with a rover/Buick V8 engine. I was exported to the USA eventually and I cannot discover where it now is sadly.

Bit more modern than the others so far, but I'll be taking this:

That's close to where I live - haven't seen you around...

That's because I'm at the top of Surrey almost in London. Fernhurst look after the Griff for me though so I sometimes stop off in chiddingfold for a spot of lunch

Not wrong. We came in at about 9pm and trying to get the motorhome round to site E was tricky. Got stuck a couple of times. Plenty of people on the grass won't be driving out.

Both of these two....

I like the Rover. A lot.

[coppice]

I will take the sublime CV 8 which , in my world is second only to the Gordon Keeble in the Anglo American hybrid stakes , Hybrid in old style, obviously. A late friend had a CV 8 which did not disappoint and attracted huge attention when we took it to a run wot yer brung session.


Rover lovely too- what a departure that car was from its rather stuffy predecessors .

[No ideas for a name]

Forget the boat - take a hovercraft. I managed to get in but got stuck on the way out.
Thanks to the member (GRRC not necessarily PH) who lent me his wife to drive whilst we all pushed.
PS. I did give her back
Tow strap read for tomorrow.

Motco, really appreciate response. Thanks

Don't take anything nice on Sunday. The fields are wrecked and they won't recover.
