The Jensen Owners' Club

I have had my SP for 33 years. When i first got her the engine overheated very badly and ran poorly. I took the plunge and went to a specialist who told me the block was cracked and not worth saving. I protested that this wood not make an all numbers matching. They said that "this is not a %$^&...

There is a local classic car club in my general area. The members are generally well North of middle age. We had a meeting in a local park as due to covid our normal meeting place is banned. The usual agenda with new and intending members welcomed. There was a small man sitting in the chair in front...

Rocky, Rocky, foi gras?? It's absolutely Green peace banned along with fur coats these days. I always liked a bit of foi but didn't like production methods. Perhaps cruel?

There is in life always a woman somewhere with niggles.I agree that there should be no overheating or A/C problems.Kenny38

Hi, Martin. Will miss your appearance at Terribly British Day In Canberra this year. We will have a drink for you at the "after" BBQ. Stay inside. Avoid the French.Kenny38

I think a post from CB would clear up values etc. Anyway I once wrote that value is in the eye of........ A brand new Jensen today's money would have to be around $400K.
Where are you Croperdy? Kenny38

I thought the build was using a suitable Jensen body, a GM engine and tons of other refinements far more than even a completely restored Interceptor at another specialist place could provide. My understanding of this company is that it has the workforce which is highly skilled and the finished vehic...

Tell Rocky that he is constantly in my prayers and winter is coming Kenny38

I should remind you all that I still have a spanner with Jensen stamped into the side. This spanner does have a green elastic band attached so not a valuable as the very scarce Jensen stamped spanner with a red elastic attached. I await offers. Will probably fit a S2 pouch. Kenny38

Go on, Martin you know you want it. Just sign a cheque and take home all those trophies. Kenny38

Why on earth put this great car on bidding platform. It will never get a reasonable bid. Mainly chancers. Advertise properly at the right price. kenny38

Oh, and I forgot to say welcome to the club/forum. Everyone will be interested in your results.
Stay in touch. kenny38

Prices certainly in Australia are going up.......for good to excellent cars. Recent sales are $125K for an SP and $140K being asked for (and definite interest by 3 prospective buyers when finished) for a restored '72 M3 in AM Grey. Probably with 25K GBP or perhaps a little more you will get a usuall...

Anything for 25K GBP will need work, probably a lot. Be mindful of the fact the majority of cars at around 25K used to be 3-4 years ago around 15K and that was what they were worth and still are. You may have to raise your budget unless you are an adept mechanic/auto electrician with a suitable plac...

Thank you all for your advice. I have ordered one from the site kindly provided by that appalling Grant. Rocky, your word erudite I thought meant hairy but that is hirsute. Stay with me. Are you still going to the opera, Rocky....aspirations to upper middle class? Kenny38
