The Jensen Owners' Club

No photo I’m afraid, but just saw a black Interceptor, 42 LOF in Weymouth. The rear badge had been modified to say ‘Interceptor GS’ And it had four individual, round taillights either side instead of the standard ones.

The original design did indeed have the headlight covers. As a result of bad press for the similar covers on the recently introduced E-type (crazing, steaming up), the Jensen brothers decided to delete them at the last minute, too late to allow any tooling changes, much to my Dad’s disappointment.

He joined Singer in 1931, and was responsible for the Nine Sports 1933 range. You are right Stephen, my Dad did design the Singer 9 Le Mans (although I always thought it was...

I remember seeing a blue CV-8 with wire wheels at the 40th Anniversary in Burghley - it stuck in my mind as being a particularly attractive combination, particularly with the light tan trim. The magazine report from that event shows the car, LAX 69D (so no 'F' or 'G') as being owned by Robert Willia...
