Love them, but from a total production of around 300-350 I can't imagine there's many left. For proper rarity would have to be the soft top version lol think they only made a handful.

There was one at the Goodwood breakfast club the other week, plus I know there's one in the Brooklands Museum that used to belong to Ricardo and was used for testing - aside from the revolting mustard coloured paint it's probably one of the best non-restored Interceptors around

Wonderful vehicles
Had one, just the Boggo one (if you could ever describe one as that), not the FF, the SP, or the drop top....

It may have been a ropey old shed, but I loved it, while it lasted

I found them average-looking, not quite ugly, but not far off. The nose looked pretty similar to the NSU Ro80, but I found the NSU a prettier car.

Nice beefy V8 motor though.

Loved them ever since I can remember. The FF being the first 4 wheel drive production sports car.

Nearly bought a very early Vignale built MK1 2WD a couple of years ago in the pale blue of the original Earls Court show vehicle.

Wish I had gone through with it
