Classic and Vintage Cars

Date of First Registration: 07/03/1969. 6.3 litre V8 engine Grand Tourer. This suggests it is a Mark I but I've seen forum entries elsewhere identifying it as a Mark III...

Used to be one here in Holyhead, always M.O.T'd and insured but was never kept on the road, not seen it for years.

It's an FF, not an Interceptor.

Def a MK I, not a III. The bumpers with the bullet shaped over-riders (rather than square), the front indicators above the bumper and the twin cowls for the rev counter and speedometer are MKI features. Also, the MKIII didn't come out until late of 1971.

Your data is wrong I'm afraid James. The FF is not an Interceptor. It's full model name is simply "FF".

The FF had the 6276cc engine (383), not the 7212 (440).

Production was a mere 320 cars.

Actually the one in the pic is on this thread, it's a stunning car;
