this beauty pulled up at my workplace during the week, it had been restored at another bodyshop and was like new inside and out. I had to take a few pics before the driver left. my first choice if my 6 numbers ever come up.

That is just so iconic. Nothing comes close in design, a true masterpiece of engineering beauty.

If it was me...... I would go back in time, when I had a MK5 Cortina with a 4.6 Range Rover v8 in, with a Hurst Semi Auto Gearbox and Jag back axle and drop the lot in my 75 Tourer yes please....

However, as it was only good in a straight line.. I will stick to my 4 pot and have it resprayed, reconditioned,overhauled and future proofed...as best it possible.

Unfortunately My MK5 vanished into the unknown... and I do not do the lottery.

Thinking about it if I wine the big one I would get a mk24 vickers super marine spitfire with a big fat Rolls Royce griffin engine

Then I get a airworthy English electric lightning fighter from Thunder city

I may well end up killing myself but what a way to go.

[QUOTE=mrufff;1706208]1969 dodge charger + mods to make sure that it will run on rear wheels.


Totally agree with this, but would have to have the Magnum engine
Also 1969 Chevy Camaro V8
1971 Plymouth Barracuda with the Hemi v8
1973 shark nose Pontiac Firebird Formula 455

No rag tops though

Oh and a 57 Chevy Bel Air for the wife

Hi Guys, I rebuild Jensen Interceptors for a living, and yes you are right. Class is the word !!
If I won the lottery, I wouldn't still be trying to source the much needed missing V8 parts for 005

You are living the dream! You must be very proud of what you do and a real craftsman.

Many thanks, yes I thoroughly enjoy my job. I don't just love what I do, I also do what I love I have been involved with this Icon since 1973 and I am still as passionate about them now as I was back then. Sadly the ravages of time have not been kind to many, but we do our best to keep the marque alive.
