Possibly a Jensen C-V8 from between 1962-66 ??? The owner called it an Interceptor - but that puts the car at 1950-56
My buddy Cliff had this car roll into his shop late last week for some minor work. I think this is an import from quite some time back, and the owner is getting it ready for inspection to register for on-road use here. Talk about leaving it late - all the rules have changed again recently, and bringing in cars to NZ is not as easy as it was 20 years ago.
Anyway, the frost plugs need to be replaced as whoever tried it last time didn't install them correctly.
Also looking for confirmation of what the car actually is....the engine size - we think 383, but it could be a 361. Also uncertain of the year. The owner appears to be a bit foggy as to what he has also. Cliff is going to get the block casting numbers for me and hopefully a tag number.
Since this car has never been registered here in NZ my usual channels of inquiry are useless.
Apologies in advance to @Kern Dog ..... you know why.
Maybe @33 IMP has some insight on the car?
Thanks.
