As much as I hate that they've butchered a Jensen Interceptor, and as much as I don't understand why they tryto sell an incomplete, not finished car - I think it's brilliant, awesome and very mad at the same time ;D Much like a modern re-production-retro-design  *like* |

Yeah I like that! Some of the styling isn't to my tastes but I think overall it's great.
I don't understand why they're trying to sell it before it's finished but I can see it finding a buyer!

Sounds familiar. Isn't there a company in the UK that will "Re-finish" your Jenson (Thought it was Jensen?) with modern interior and a new Corvette engine? They cost in excess of £100k iirc.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

They aren't selling it incomplete, it'll be delivered finished. They are just listing it now to find a buyer before ts done. Quite normal for limited-run Ferraris and Lambos to be entirely sold before one has even been built. |

Valley Gas Speedshop recently had a hand in the MG Draft, a similarly modernised classic. Advertising it before it is finished means a customer can specify some personal tweaks and helps with the cashflow. The styling is quite 'concept' like and not to all tastes, but I reckon it's an impressively ambitious project. I hope it finds a buyer so the guys can get on with more stuff!   www.britishv8.org/MG/BrookAnderson.htm |

I think it is being sold due to lack of funds, moneys from sale to finish build?

Good on them, apart from the bloody HDR photos and the odd mirrors.
I used to read the snobbish classic mags, they always had classifieds at the back from people selling MkII Jags with XJR running gear and the like, they were always at around the same stage as this so that the buyer could specifiy the final look.

It's like an Interceptor with a little bit of this...  ...a little bit of this...  ... and Jaguar inspired gills in the front wings. I wonder where they actually drew inspiration from for the reworking? |

Love it!, i'm sure someone in the money will stump up 6 figures for it.
On a different note Alistair, Did I drive past you in Ruddington today or was that a different behemoth that wafted past me!
