![]() Today's car of the day is Corgi's 1969 Jensen Interceptor. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Jensen Interceptor ![]() Small scale Jensens are few and far between. This one, the Playart FF, and a few new Oxfords (albeit those are 1/76 and not 1/64) are it. If ever a car screamed to be added to the current Matchbox lineup, it's the Interceptor. This casting is quite good, but has the earlier opening doors cast shut. ![]()

I was given the Whizzwheels version to restore last year which has the opening doors and lacks those silly 'Rockets' wheels, but as I was stripping the paint off it, one of the A-pillars snapped. These things are notoriuos for that problem, unfortunately

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

A good set of wheels and proper height would do miracles for this casting. The fire inside the interior would be more difficult to fix, especially the large rear glass area. JAMES AUTO, I'd like to see you fix the one you described. |

I think it's beyond repair. I'm sure there's a way of replacing an A-pillar on a 1:64 scale car because I've seen it done on larger scale cars, but the work I've seen has not looked very good, so on an even smaller model it'd probably look terrible. As I've already got a restored Rockets model, I'm thinking of just swapping the baseplates around. It's a compromise that I'd be happy with (if I ever get round to it!) |

I'll happily take the remains as a junker for Swifty's Salvage. I'm sure we can work some sort of swap out in the near future! |

I think an A-pillar can be fixed, but it would be work. |
