The Jensen Owners' Club

Thanks Nick.

Interesting info.

I was talking to an owner of one of these cars last year and she was disappointed with the amount of snags after a month ( the A/C had stopped working and it was overheating in traffic were her two biggest niggles). For that money I would want it to be perfect in every detail with no teething troub...

How does the steering feel on the road with that set-up?

- how can it be Zero mileage. ?? You're correct Colin, it would technically be illegal to zero the speedo odometer and then enter this incorrect figure on subsequent MOTs. However, there maybe a "loophole" where it is claimed a "new speedo" has been fitted at ******* mileage. Bu...

Other than George, of course!

Rings a vague bell James.

Was there not a Jensen road-roller or dumper truck (or something) that used such a logo?

It doesn't. He's made this up himself.

A certain charm I suppose, if it was an Interceptor and not an FF.

It's amazing, I put up a picture on Facebook and a while later the real thing appears! This is the second time.

Great link Colin.

Brings back many memories. Living in Australia, I always bought the UK Daily Express Motor show Review every year, really looked forward to it.
