Re: Jensen Factory postcard

Wonderful to see those pictures of the Healey production line.
Thank you so much for posting them.
My father was the project manager for the Jensen Healey as he had a background in sports car manufacture.
So very nice to see the fruit of his labour

Roughly 1/3 of her sharpened up in readiness for paint so a little closer to completion.

Re: "Setting about an Interceptor" - G Series repairs.

A few more pics of progress,a bit of “persuasion” required to get the doors right but worthwhile.

Re: "Setting about an Interceptor" - G Series repairs.

This time a year ago I was anticipating showing some pics this month of my car getting some lead stuck to it. The terrible pandemic we are enduring has curtailed that until a later time so a couple of alterations I thought may be of interest. 223B87D3-B17E-4F87-A51B-C6506A54F95B.jpeg 0B163E6B-BB2C-4...

Re: Jensen Factory postcard

I am sure I used to go down there prior to the track being recovered if I have got it correct looking at those overhead pictures. The old line from Walsall-Dudley-Stourbridge had a branch off it with a steep incline to Pensnett. At that time it was a very busy route as the Round Oak works was also s...

Re: "Setting about an Interceptor" - G Series repairs.

It’s in a semi-dandy condition Mr Grantchester!
Insulated around the column entry point but brittle old plastic by the manifold is quite rightly a concern.
Will be attempting to clear as much heat from under the bonnet but will now be thinking about a little sleeve of some sort.
Thanks for raising it.

Re: "Setting about an Interceptor" - G Series repairs.

Refurbed the steering column and replaced the old u/j’s with Aston parts (surprisingly no too expensive).

Smaller than the stock items and sealed so no greasing to worry about,I reckon a little more pleasing to look at?
