The Jensen Owners' Club

No doubt someone will see some value in this..... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/156177476600?itmmeta=01HWK1D87TWAVYQCJ57TXC4DG2&hash=item245ce72bf8:g:x2oAAOSw-0pmJcut&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA4E1d0M%2BrcNtjqo4fIjSBTnGf%2FyKfcyssP3wbNnTl6%2FlBfT0K7McPa0WirBhGnK6nmjMGQdgwYNS0MngDWV4o4CSM17Usn%2FNDPql...

As I understand it, Lynx was a Company that was asked to create an improved hood mechanism for the 1990's convertibles. I presume it was to help it sit lower which seems to be the major complaint with the Jensen design....not helped when using a mohair top as opposed to the everflex vinyl type? Jens...

The word crashed comes to mind. Removing the sidelights/indicators and replacing the side marker lights with repeater lights must also have seemed a good idea to someone. The vendor is having no more luck selling this than he is his convertible it seems. The price point may also need addressing.....

No I do not recognise it. As Lynx were involved I would guess it has some Jag parts involved somewhere although the electrically operated latches may be Saab???? I hate the closing panel...and what are the presss studs for? The micro-switch in the centre looks equally cheap IMHO as does the handle. ...

The text (i think) does not specify RHD cars only. There are those who have tried to track all convertibles over the years and the most up to date view is probably here: https://www.jensencars.be/int.%20mk%20iii%20vin%201000%20-%201099.html Some of the RHD 2340 chassis numbers are certainly abroad n...

A single opening commission bid of £10k and no other interest...so the auctioneer "passed" on the lot.

Not sure why they opted for the Lynx hood...it looks worse than an original IMHO.

"The opportunity to purchase one of these cars is very rare, just 12 cars are understood to remain in the UK "

Really?

Not sold apparently. Not sure what the top bid was...but not enough obviously.

Mk 2 and Mk3 projects on ebay. Decreasing quality and asking price.... It seems the days of the £10k restoration project are behind us at the moment.. but we aren't back to the £1000 spares car....yet. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256485327501?itmmeta=01HVVY0RZ2HKDYW14GQXXAZ137&hash=item3bb7b7828d...

If the Club/Registrar know the owner/family from its records (because they’re a club member), surely a telephone call to clarify whether they’re aware of current auction results and the excessive commission sought by this auction house would be worthwhile…and an example of club membership adding va...
