The convertible Jensen everyday for me.
The rear end of the standard Interceptor was always the let down in my eyes with that huge rear window.
Would love a Jensen Interceptor convertible if I had the funds

I suppose it's good that we have such contrasting tastes or we would all have been chasing the same women but my god, I would have loved to have been on nights out with you...the number of pretty girls with pig ugly mates I would have had a chance with if you were my wingman!

I think you’ll find Cropredy prices reflect what’s more desirable.

Worked down there a lot, didn’t realise it was the posh red light district!

Mate lives on a boat down there and attends the festival but never mentioned a red light district.

Well, now you've got me wasting my morning dreaming about car auction nonsense...

I used to have an N-reg Prodrive Impreza; I miss that car and wouldn't mind getting one as a runabout.
And an RS Turbo, in about 1988; hard to get the power down with front-wheel drive.



Or who would like a £450,000 car for £50,000?



And these are just silly:

Clarkson rated the Jaguar XJR6 as one of his Best Car's.
I love my X300 4.0 sovereign and I'm using her today the shape is very close to the original 1968 car in my eye with a few extra touches as standard and nothing else that I personally don't want.

That Mini pickup thing is just bonkers

There are a couple of Masers on the auction too

I saw that when it first got listed Den, the bidding shot up straight away.
Such a lovely car for such low money.

Good Grief that's just over €18,000 and would be very rare too in France.

Look! I've ruined a Merak!

I rather liked it!

 

[drellis]

I think that's bargain if its in as good condition as looks , I think it looks fine as well , probably not quite as good looking as original but very close

It will be interesting to see what this makes, a genuine SZ Trofeo Race Car previously owned by Andrea de Adamich the ex Alfa works driver.

SZ Trofeo

Those stripes do it no favours IMHO

Agree but it's a race car probably easier enough to remove but that would remove some of its provenance.

The interesting point for me is the ducting of air to the brakes as this is a known issue when using an SZ on a track.
