Must be an age thing as it was the Jensen that caught my eye first

And me. My best mates dad had the interceptor when we were growing up. Absolute beauty

Plaster off and insulation on if it were mine. I would rather live an easy to heat home than a museum but each to there own I guess but in a world of ever-growing pressure on resources, it just makes sense to insulate and save the trees IMO. Sorry, I am becoming a raging greeny and cant zip it ?

 

It does look beautiful

There's an old saying

“Indian build small fire, stay close, stay warm, White man build big fire, stay warm gathering wood, feeding fire all night.”

I had two, an early ‘69 6.9 and a ‘73 7.2. Wish I had the later one now

Hi Baldbloke , 

What type of joint did they fit ? Reason I’m asking is I had a replacement in 2013 after being diagnosed in 2000 , mine is ceramic and the surgeon told me it would see me out !! I’m 58 by the way .

Anyway mine has been great and I am doing everything as normal but it was fully 2 years before the twinges and aches stopped fully , so don’t go mad on it too early .

Good luck ?

Come on you two, I need more observation of the Jensen for its correct name!

Seems stupid as I never asked. Apart from being a little sore in a muscle lower down after mauling too many logs a few days ago, I have no twinges or aches. I’m 14 weeks post op

Just to be pedantic it was always called just a Jensen FF not an Interceptor This was a gathering of FF cars at Gaydon  in May

My original trade was a panelbeater. Did a lot of restoration work on some interesting cars and bikes. Used to use an English wheel and use tin/lead repair rather than cataloy. I did a lot of sill/jacking point repairs to Interceptors in my time[emoji1303]
