Wow, never heard of it. Only interceptors of different marks is all I've heard of. Will have to look on wikipedia.
It did look good, panels seem to fit.
Edit-maybe not the door.
As I suspected I was right about everything.

Jensen made so great cars before the Interceptor that everyone knows. I had a 541 which was a cracking car but they were hand made so panel gaps were always an issue. It makes them a right pain in the arse to restore as you can't really use secondhand parts as everything is made for the car. When I had mine I had 2 spares cars and thought I would use the better window frames on the one I restored but there was no way I could get them to fit. I nearly bought a CV8 project that had been abandoned in the garages of a house a couple of mates were repossessing, but the owner paid the debt and recovered it just in time.

This isn't strictly a spot as such. But I have just found one of the 550 Rodacar Maestros exported to Uruguay.

I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

The Audi had a good MOT history up to 7 or so years ago when the last one expired.
I wonder why it was taken off the road?

What is the median age in Needham Market?
I'm guessing somewhat older than the National median age...

Just stumbled upon a long lost photo folder on an old hard drive. At last I can find evidence of the sadly long gone Peugeot 605 pick-up at Phnom Penh airport. Sometime the big yellow box on the back was removed and it ferried suitcases from the little turbo-props that bounced in from time to time.
