The Jensen Owners' Club

It’s been a few years since she has properly seen the light of day… but took her out for a short trip today to brush off the cobwebs! Came back with a list of rattles/squeaks I need to find and fix, but other than that she drove fabulously - had forgotten how much fun she is to drive! 😎 Have a few r...

Just seen the other topic on this... nothing worrying anymore!

Hiya,

Just had something similar, worrying as my membership isn’t due until January (which I think is the same for everyone..?)

Going to ignore the email until an admin here let’s us know that it is legit!

Cheers,

Well - I keep promising updates, and keep failing to deliver! So here is a big one... ish. As I said at the beginning, I was never trying to get her concourse - I wanted her running and back on the road. So over the last year I have had most of the body panels off and (eventually) the engine out. Th...

Hi, I need to raise a few pennies to pay for the repsray to finally get BB back in the road - and I'm under orders to clear some of the 'junk' from the garage. As such I have decided to sell some of the excess parts I have gathered over the years that I will not need to get BB up and running again. ...

She’s Alive!!! Almost 10 years gone and she is running nicely, though probably a little rich! Took me all day today to iron out the niggles - stripped the distributor, new ht leads and new plugs and she became more compliant! Thought I’d have a beer to celebrate, but just before I did I found the ne...

Ah yes - poor choice of words!!!

Update on the restart... Managed to get some fuel and the fuel pump etc kicks in fine, and last night she started turning over nicely. The only downside is that she isn't firing. Going to give the plugs and points another look tonight (or tomorrow work depending) as I'm sure that the problem is here...

I've got a spare one if you aren't able to fix it!

Personally I'd attached it to a Police Car..!

Not appropriate for a Jensen, but well placed on an RV..!!

Well, the restart didn't quite go as planned. Sadly when I turned on the ignition the fuel pump kicked in... and the tank was empty.
Schoolboy error!!

Getting some fuel on the way home today to hopefully have another go!

Hi, Its been a while since I updated, and this is only a quick one: The new subframe fit perfectly and I have rebuilt all the electrics at the front end. Just before holidays I stripped and cleaned the fuel pump and carburettors and they will be reattached this morning. Hoping for a first start of t...

Hi,
A small parade of classics had a mini drive through my village this morning as part of a family fun day, I amanged to catch it on video and wanted to share. Is there a way to post videos on the forum or is it just still images..?
Cheers,
Matt

Fabulously busy day today! Got the replacement subframe ready to go - new bushes eventually fitted (courtesy of lots of silicone grease and my great grandads 1940s vice!): IMG_5388.JPG (you can just about see BB in the background on the axle stands) Only thing left to fit is the new suspension dampe...
