The Mk3 is way too common for my taste while a hugely competent car just took the shine off the RS mystique for me..

Agreed, as capable as the Mk3 RS is. Id still pick the Mk2 for one big reason, the 2.5L 5 cylinder.

Havnt seen one for ages.


Seen another FW Mk3 RS today. common as muck now

Jensen Interceptor FF
Italian designer
British build
Chrysler 6.? V8 motor
One model I think the FF was actually 4 wheel drive and was longer in body length because of 4wd
my dads service station had a client who imported one into NZ I was taken for a ride and could easily died a virgin after that ride, didnt think there was anything more beautiful in the world.

Saw a chocolate brown XB Hardtop with cream vinyl roof in Menindee on Sunday. Oh and a XF panel van, white of course.

Without wanting to appear too pedantic, the FF was not an Interceptor, They are 2 separate cars. It's like saying a Futura GT. The FF was 4WD & 5-inches (127mm) longer than the Interceptor.

The engine was a 383 V8 (6.3L) Chrysler & the trans was a 727 Torqueflite & the 4WD FF had the world's first ABS system.

The Interceptor was RWD only & could be had as a manual or auto. The Interceptor also had 3 different V8s available (all Chrysler) the 360, 383 & 440.

I saw one of them a few months back! Maybe the same one.

Also spotted today, a lightly modded Mazda 626 coupé, in red with blackout trim. And a late Triumph 2000S, restored in vibrant orange with black vinyl C-pillars. Often used to see a white 2000 with the “MD” pack so this was a nice change.

[OneMadMan]

Fair enough, did ya see one of these to?

Well clearly that's still an important factor in SA. Especially if you have a bank vault.
