The Jensen Owners' Club

A 16 year old was on board today in the C-V8. First time she'd ever seen window crank handles in a car. She thought that was the coolest thing ever

slight difference in size: and coming out of the garage:

Hi Helen

Thank you, will get in touch with him. Would someone PM me his mail?

I removed some of the silver paint using tape to uncover a reasoble size patch.

Unfortunately I haven't had much luck finding larger areas of the original paint. I removed the door sills- nothing remaining. Also behind the carpet to the right of the drivers foot there were no traces of princess grey. Two places which to me look like Princess Grey is in the hood opening mechanis...

We've been notified by the owner that 117/2611 is for sale:

PM or mail (office@jcc.ch) me for his contact. The car is in France.

Best regards, Felix

Hi Mike, do you have any original paint left on the car to compare the colour? John- you're probably right: the British Standard Colour 00 A 05 is Goose grey / Sea Mist / Goosewing (good names!). One site I found converts it to NCS S 3000-N, which is a swatch we have at the office (next to RAL) that...

Thank you, John. I just sent Classic Mike a mail via their website. I'll keep you posted.

All the best, Felix

We've been asked by a member from Germany what the modern paint for Princess Grey is- does anybody have a paint code they have used? Apparently a code 00A05UCJ is in circulation, but we do not know from which company. And there is an ICI code M049-2334 but that doesn't lead me anywhere My C-V8 has b...

who knows...

Fantastic Joerg! Great to have more history on the car. Does he still have any documentation on the work done? Cool would also be a garage sticker for your car. If they don't have one maybe they have an old letterhead you could use to create one... Sarkis Narjjarian: sarkis_narjjarian.jpg The car lo...
