Not sure where this would go, but would be pretty cool to have a 50 car garage with lifts at the house.

A co-worker has an Interceptor. It's HUGE. And also junk.

Ha ha well I wouldn’t really expect anything else from a 50 year old British car. But that’s amazing you know someone who has one. Have you driven it? I picture something like a Plymouth Satellite but less reliable.

Are they all autos? I was surprised by the transmission.

I haven't driven it and I can't even describe how little desire I have to drive it, or be in it, or even around it if the battery is plugged in.

The wiring on it is comically bad. He mentioned that he never leaves the battery connected when he's not driving the car, because they're so prone to starting on fire.

Always loved the design. Can’t decide if I like the couple or convertible better. But 70s British electrical is scary. Probably a good candidate for an EV conversion…
