1969 Jensen Interceptor FF Paintwork

One of only 320 Jensen Interceptor FF’s manufactured, 110 of which were MkII and this being the very first MkII, this very special car has come in to us today to have a couple of minor paint issues rectified.

She’ll be with us whilst the owner is away enjoying a nice break so on his return he’ll have her back up to tip top condition.

The blemishes are concentrated just to the front of the Jensen so the bonnet and front panels will all be addressed and resolved.

The colour is Jaguar Clarendon Blue, code 326/JER.

Piping the MGYT Oil Dipstick Cover

From new, we believe the small piece of shaped metal and carpet which covers the MG YT oil dipstick is not piped, instead it was left as a rough piece of carpet. Hopefully the purists won’t be too offended with our decision to pipe it. We have opted for beige/biscuit piping rather than blue so it is not too glaringly obvious.

Without the piping it looked like someone had made an error in the manufacturing plant and tried to patch it up with a bit of carpet but now it looks beautiful. It still serves the same purpose of being a cover but now does it with a bit of style and elegance.

More images of our Jaguar E-Type have been found online

The internet is such a wonderful tool.

We’ve just received an email from Mr Alan Sinclair, he happened to be looking for wheel adapters online and came across another few images of our 1973 Jaguar E-Type Series 3, registration WWB493L.

Back in the day it was very difficult to add to the previous history of a car but now thanks to the internet, images often pop up when you least expect them and it is always wonderful to see where you car has been in a previous life.

Thanks Alan.

Can a Bugatti handle a drive-through?

Former racing driver Archie Hamilton has become an internet star by putting luxury cars in everyday situations.

In one of his most viewed videos on YouTube, he wanted to see if a £1m Bugatti Veyron could handle a fast-food drive-through.

The 26-year-old, from Basingstoke, Hampshire, once competed at Le Mans but now makes a living by posting motoring reviews online.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gnavx6PfZCU&t=7s” title=”Archie Hamilton Racing”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
