Lovely car, well done Joe.

Thank you. I am really proud of this car.

Went and visited the car and Jay last weekend and delivered some of the CV8s old leftover parts. I’m curious what parts he ordered. Haha just by coincidence I found this topic, I came back looking for valve stem solutions for my Interceptor and saw the posting. Was honored that Jay chose to mention ...

Chris can give you the wheel specs as he ordered them I know they are 16" and the tire size is 225/60/16. Lowered 1" using blocks in the rear and I fabricated front spring perch drop blocks for the front. This way the ride quality does not go away as it would with cutting the springs. Othe...

Oh yes looked at the picture I'll definitely pass on the look of that. I'm not a fan of it. Like I said this wasn't a complete factory original resto so changes for better looks were made. Interesting info though. Thanks.

Dear Joe That is really a beauty! Like the red rear flasher and double withe side light and flasher front. I'm not a concur judge, just all CV8 ( and all 541 ) had a combined reverse and number plate light. It is the Lucas unit that you also find on a Jaguar or Aston Martin of that time. Lucas numb...

BTW: I think the reverse light is wrong / but the correct Lucas unit is still avalibel new.

What do you mean?? The CV8 does not have a reverse light. Which light are you talking about.

Here is the official awards results from the show. Crazy to see the Jensen marque in the company of some of the other award winners. An incredible honor. And a thrill for all Jensen owners I would think. http://www.beverlyhills.org/cbhfiles/storage/files/16688549301431127515/Concours_Award_WINNERS-4...

I pull my hat! Well done. Joerg BTW: Who is the guy next to you, I think I have seen him before :-) Thank you Joerg, many long nights and red bulls later the car was actually completed in just the knick of time but so rewarding to see the car go out and receive so much attention the very first time.

I hope I'm not a maniac hahaha maybe crazy for tackling the project in the first place but not a maniac.
