It is undeniably a lovely car, I spent quite a while having a trunk around it at the Classic Motor Show yesterday. Excellent classic with an unassuming sledgehammer twist ...but enough about the car, the only thing that got me over to look at it was the lovely lady doing the PR on the stand ;D Lol, kidding. I;ve load of pics I'll put up when I get a moment to sort them. Of the car, the carIndeed. Very complimentary to the cars curves.

The Viper engine and box are about the size of a Morris Minor... How did you manage to squeeze them into the stock chassis?

The car has had chassis upgrades and strengthening so it can take and handle the engine. Cool, but not what I asked How much did you have to cut out to get it to fit? Just a little? It looks like quite a bit has been removed *n

awesome looking and sounding car. I can imagine many hundreds of man-hours have gone into making that car look just right.

Only the Interceptor FF had 4wd I think, rest is just RWD. Quite so. The FF had two grilles between the door and the wheelarch on each side, rather than the single one on a 'normal' Interceptor. Also, the FF had ABS - quite a long way ahead of it's time. ;D

Finally got my pictures from the show edited, and if Photobucket has finished kicking my balls hopefully some of them might even work TBH, not sure they add much to what has been posted here before (probably lower the average quality of photos on this thread by some margin in fact, lol) but here they are anyway. You can tell the popularity of the car by the sheer press of people crowding round it. It was just impossible to get a clear pic, so much so I got the hump trying to find a good one and just knocked the hell out of the background Still, by any measure you apply, an amazing car easily able to draw a crowd, even in a huge hall stuffed with amazing cars! Annoying that the dude stuck his flashgun into my pic right at the wrong moment on that interior shot, cos it means you can't see the digital gear indicator in the photo now!
