I'll try to find out if he still has it. tonyrome wrote Dr Shan Chetiyawardana MBBS FRCR, who practises at Spire Little Aston Hospital and Spire Parkway Hospital, confirmed he still owns the car and it is still on the road.
dsl ◊ 2021-04-03 05:31	We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided JENSEN INTERCEPTOR III AUTO 1975 Registration number: OND 954P Body type: 2 Door Saloon Colour: Blue Date of first registration: November 1975 Still owned by Dr Shan Chetiyawardana. The story is that when this series of TV movies was being set up, the short list was Aston-Martin (who weren't interested), Bristol (who couldn't supply a blue car in time in the spec the producers wanted) and Jensen who bought the car off an owner who always had his car factory-serviced, so they nabbed him when he turned up with an offer he couldn't refuse). It was then refurbed for filming, given a sunrooof and the S4 bits. After filming it was resprayed and rechromed, then sold to Chetiyawardana. OND 954P was a July 76 issue, so may not be the original plate.
