The context and car condition
The donor car for Jens to restore the black 5 litre Interceptor Kavaler the team entered in the 2024 Shitbox rally this year.
The team decided to give the donor car a proper sendoff in the event…
Car condition is therefore:
- Missing bits of trim wherever Jens needed stuff to replace on the Interceptor Kavaler
- No high mileage on the car and engine, issues will be more about that the car has hardly been moving under its own power over the past couple of years
- Chassis and panels have some rust in exposed places
- Cracked windscreen on the passenger side
- Front left high beam and rear right lamp cluster broken
- Clutch on the worn out side (but only needs four shifts each lap thanks to V8) - and at least it has the manual, not the 3-speed slushbox of the Komfort Extra trims…
- The only things working on the inside are clock and fuel gauge
- Right rear door mechanism broken and door welded shut
- Some fluid is leaking (not brake fluid) but they were unable to determine in time where exactly it came from
- Carbs and suspension were tuned and aligned for the race, brake pads and spark plugs replaced
