To reiterate the above, if you want to come to a UK based event this year, the 541 event in Shaftesbury and Haynes motor Museum is open to all Jensen enthusiasts. There are still a small number of rooms left at the hotel and the Sunday event at Haynes is unrestricted regarding attendees- just turn u...

I have similar records to Jim - some of the photos are very similar if not identical to those used in the 2018 advert. It is definitely the same workshop! Ch 308 is a DS7 car and 379 is a DS5. The photo below shows ch 308 with its original registration plate (SYL 616) on the left: MB01.JPG the middl...

Price reduced to £16000 ONO.

If interested please get in touch.

Hi, we have been asked to advertise a 541S restoration project for sale. It is car no 1077, original registration 582 CPY and has been in current ownership for 20 years. The car is available for viewing near Cardiff (South Wales). The asking price is reduced from £22000 to £16000 or near offer. Plea...

I seem to remember that there is something very unusual and complicated about the original gearbox fitted to these cars. I will have to try and dig out the article from the automobile about 3 or so years ago. The extracts from an on line article below relate to a similar chassis design with non Jens...

Stuart, please make sure that the crane you choose has enough capacity at full reach. The centre of gravity when lifting both engine and longitudinal gbox together will be not be far from the bulkhead and the reach of a small crane when lifting a significant weight diminishes rapidly. Those 240s hav...

A bit more progress today:
There are still a small number of rooms available so if you are planning to attend, please get in touch with the hotel as soon as you can

Thanks

Dave and Jane

All the 541 (DL, R, S) that I have worked on have a different fixing arrangement for the retraction forks with 2 holes rather than the thicker tab opposite the forks… saying that, there are very few DLs that have not been modified over the years to take square friction pads, so perhaps the earliest ...

was the original part threaded? if so, they look very similar to those fitted to an MGTF - see below (I know it is blue, (red and green also available) but other cars from this era may have use yellow/amber)
cheers

Hi, we have been in Shaftesbury for the last 2 days, progressing the hotel arrangements, visits and routes. All is coming together and the hotel inform us that they have 26 rooms already booked by Jensen enthusiasts. This only leaves 6 rooms left in the hotel. If you are thinking about coming and wa...

Hi, we visited the Wanaka Transport museum in NZ last month. Found this interceptor:

Hi, there are some sketches, not by Eric Neale sadly, but they appear to be by a Jensen draughtsman for an early magazine article. You can buy copies from JOC regalia

Felix, check the thermostat in a saucepan of boiling water!

Hi Paul, what is the chassis number? With this someone will be able to look up the information in one of the Richard Calver books (first reg number may be listed, but is not listed for every car)
