The Jensen Owners' Club

Well that was a great day ! Set off nice and early to get to Ally Pally to join the parade. Heading down the A10 in Enfield and the engine cut out at traffic lights - no spark at all. Pushed it into a retail park and waited for breakdown. When a mechanic turned up it was pretty obvious he did not ha...

Hi Shaun
I am going to Ally Pally on Saturday and could bring my mk 2 interceptor to join the parade if you want. Can you or Nic Cooper PM me with any details
Regards

Hi Garry There is a regular meeting in Essex at the Royal Oak, Stappleford Abbotts RM4 1JL on the first Monday of the month approx 8 pm, so the next one is 7th November. Usually 5 to 10 owners attend but not with their cars except for the summer months. Just look for a bunch of old blokes (+ Jane) s...

Driving through Witham in Essex, I found myself following this Fiat Dino. A quick signal to the driver resulted in us both stopping to discuss our cars and for a photo opportunity.

When I bough my interceptor Mk 11 last September I bought a copy of the build records from Martin Robey. Of particular note was that the engine had at least two rebuilds at the factory and there is a hand written note " Engine rebuilt by our Mr Hartland. Should be perfect " Does anyone kno...

Thanks for organising Monday evening Dave, it was most enjoyable. Any chance of posting your pictures online ?

Thanks Ian, may be looking for a recon alternator in the foreseeable future. Having now established that the alternator powers electrical systems, not the battery, it was probably the drop in revs that meant the alternator could not meet the demand therefore the car cut out. Looks like a visit to my...

DSCF5805A.jpg Recently purchased APP 220J thanks to the help of Andy at Appleyards. Being a nice day on Sunday and with a planned trip to London with the family, I decided to take the Jensen. The car was great and was no problem in the heavy traffic in the West End. Parking on Grafton Street, numer...

Congratulations on your purchase, but never mind the bonnet scoop, are you going to keep the Dixie air horns and the boot filling sound system ? Andy showed me the car when I was picking up my blue Mk 2 in your picture. Interesting options ! Presumably they were not standard factory fitted methods o...

Thanks to Andy at Appleyard's, I have now bought this as my first Jensen. To those who suggested I contact Andy before buying - you were spot on. Having checked the car over it is now going back to Appleyards for a few small jobs, before I take it back to Essex. Many thanks to Roger who sold the veh...

Michael - the estimate of £28k - £34k was for the Mk 111 also being sold at this auction. Does anyone know what they both sold for ?

In Saturdays Telegraph there was an article in the motoring section about taking a car to Europe, specifically insurance. I was under the impression that current fully comprehensive car insurance included full cover in Europe, this is not the case. Having just renewed my insurance, my IAM insurance ...

Hi, I am new to this forum and recently joined JOC. I am looking for a Jensen Interceptor, probably mark 111. I am looking for long term ownership and would prefer a vehicle that is mechanically sound and has a good body and interior. Has anyone seen this vehicle or has any knowledge of it's history...
