The Jensen Owners' Club

There's a specialized company in Germany, maybe they can help, maybe also help you source the correct instrument: https://cm-instruments.de/Restauration-und-Zifferblaetter.html#info3-3 A friend's father had a company many years ago that made the dials (not sure this is the correct word for Ziffernbl...

Am I wrong in supposing that 79 WOO is chassis 451?

Good spot! That's the chassis number HP Wieland recorded. There was a Jensen exhibit at the Geneva Salon quite a few years ago, but I don't know when. Not sure how he managed to get that license plate, or is it coincidence?

With Polish plates, quite a journey...

I wish they invented a car for cross Continent driving. You know- fast, comfortable, fun to drive

Except me the exhaust manifold broke apart. Also had an alternator give up in Genova, but managed to drive home without alternator.

I knock on wood, give the car a kiss (only when nobody is looking), and turn the ignition. Sometimes I remember to check oil, water and tire pressure.

It's just personally I don't like red cars external ly or internally Princess Grey with bright red interior was a "stock" colour combination for the C-V8, I'm assuming as defined by Jensen, to be delivered to the dealer to be sold there- a rather unusual colour today for a stock car. But ...

TRY THEM AND YOU MAY, I SAY.

Lovely car! Good luck with the sale.

Having an international motor insurance card with you is probably a good idea (along with your vehicle registration document, of course), although I always forget to organize mine and have never been checked and luckily have not been involved in an accident. The local police do check foreign vehicle...

I agree, the original interiors of the GTs are lovely, and so characteristic of the model...
