Re: Understanding the 1972 Models
The JOC website gives a lot of information on the cars and models joc.org.uk The chassis number will tell you if it is a SP or Mk III Six packs are available from summit racing and can be fitted to any 440 engine, but a different cam is required or the outers will not open. The SP also has a higher ...

Re: Jensen Club of Switzerland: International 2024
Yes I did the Stelvio two years ago in the SP and had a great time. Also came up the other way (not sure exactly from where) and there were no cars on the road, but it was just as twisty and steep. I remember the tail coming out once or twice and having to lean down to see the left hand hairpins as ...

Re: Jensen Club of Switzerland: International 2024
Adam has had his holiday approved and so it will be two cars and two rooms. Really looking forward to this trip.

Re: Model Overview with Specs (help!)
BHP is in the Jensen handbook that came with the car.
The rest are from an Autocar road test 7 October 1971

Re: Jensen Club of Switzerland: International 2024
As a kid my parents, brothers and I came toCelerina quite a few times (probably had something to do with having Swiss grandparents!) and we used to ski in St Moritz. Seeing the ski map brings back old memories. No Piste Bashers, no release bindings and massive moguls by the end of the season. All a ...

Jensen SP mpg
I have owned my SP since 1983 and it has been on the road for most of the time since then. I have kept records of all the fuel used and thought it would be interesting to share the analysis I recently carried out. The first chart shows the mileage covered per year and the litres of fuel used. Over t...

Re: Gobsmacked
Truly amazing, but doesn't seem to work so well for the Jensen Healey, creating a picture of an Austin Healey.

Re: When do you drive your Jensen?
I drive mine all year round, but generally not if roads are salted. Generally try and drive in the dry, but if the forecast is a bit iffy, I tend to take it anyway and if it rains so be it. I generally do 6 to 8000 mile per year. So my option isn't on the poll - all year round but generally in the d...

Re: Swiss Classic British Car Meeting
Having queried the date with Scenic car tours I received this reply. "For as long as we have been doing this tour/event the date and location has remained unchanged, and the organisers who we regularly work with did not make us aware of the change, so it is disappointing (and embarrassing!) tha...

Re: Swiss Classic British Car Meeting
There is a bit of confusion regarding the tour I have booked regarding the date and I am in contact with the organisers to clarify the situation.
Once that has been resolved, I will post an update here with a link to the website.

Richard

Swiss Classic British Car Meeting
I have just booked the Scenic Car Tours trip to Switzerland including entry to the Swiss Classic British Car Meeting at Morges and thought I would post this in case anyone else is interested in going. Having been to both Switzerland and this classic car meeting before, I can confirm the show is amaz...
