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

HQ-006 (NSW) Winter White BF2 RTV with canopy. Two seater one-tonne petrol six. Original Sunraysia wheels and centre caps. Owner was happy to chat about it for a few minutes, he’d paid $8K for it (used) some years back and it’s got 261K on the dial.

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.
