Re: First Healey ever built??

I am in the last photo of the car on the Geneva Show stand. Note the white fencing surround.

I went over and found t...

Re: First Healey ever built??

Regarding the J-H, I have found the original UK Reg No: AOE 813K, which is one of the Birmingham Export Home Delivery series, and the date was the 29th February 1972. i have always thought that Jensen fitted the Chevy engine in Donald's 541S, but could be wrong, and it was well before my time. I ass...

Re: Sir Matt

M City bought an Interceptor for Joe Mercer shortly after Matt Busby had his, I know it was white with blue roof but I have not been able to trace it. Anyone?

Re: 115/3010 SEA 900G not recorded

SEA 900G was the 1968 Earls Court demonstration car, and power steering became standard from that point. I think Gordon Wilkins borrowed the car shortly after the motor show but I am by no means certain.

BritArms - you might try and make contact with Jacques Beherman, son of the original Jensen importer . He may well have a photo or two, but would certainly have ionformation on your car.
Good luck and give him my regards!

Re: Vignale Interceptor

Just looking at the Vignale Interceptor for sale, NAB 515D, believed to be the most original( unmolested )Vignale car in existence, though needing a full restoration, and noticed the rear hatch seal is different. Is this the original one, I would assume so, but looking at the other early cars, on t...

Re: Early Volvo P1800 - an urban myth?

As Stu knows, the workshop working on my P6 is restoring what is claimed to be the first Jensen built P1800. I am going over this morning and will take some pics if possible.

Re: NEC SHOW FF ???

Thanks, Edie, the number is a replacement for the original, I think, as my Glass's records do not list it as being issued. Almost certainly not a JML car, but.....!
