The Jensen Owners' Club

John, My recent break in by highly organised and sophisticated criminals led me to contacting scrap yards upto 60 miles away. Being in Gloucestershire both the M4 and M5 are conduits for the thieves. It is a real bind but if I were in your shoes I would be looking at scrapyards that A. specialise in...

Following a serious break in to my farm buildings in the early hours of yesterday morning (Sat . Oct 2nd ) amongst the many tens of thousands of pounds worth of agricultural machinery etc stolen , there were various items "Jensen " also taken :- A full set of refurbished Mark 111 wheels in...

I drove my Father's Mark 1 Interceptor in 1968. I have owned and driven mainly Mark 111 Interceptors ever since. Last year I had the "S" running gear put into my convertible without any of the cosmetics to the body. From the purist's point of view it still looks exactly as any standard con...

As an observation :- The demonstrator "S" NOW 700 M that I drove several years ago definitely had original Jensen door handles and not Morris Marina handles as the one for sale PMC 190 L has. As the owner of the only ( I think ) "S" conversion Convertible without all the cosmetic...

Sorry Stuart, I hope I have not landed you in the mire regards having these pictures posted ( MANY thanks Zac ) . I agree with Tim there are plenty of parts on this car that will be very useful and I was torn between parting with, lets face it very little money, and the embarrassment of all the chap...

I forgot to mention that I took photographs which if someone like Zac could post them for me I am sure this would help, and possibly save you a journey. I will try to find an email address for Zac and send them to him. If unsuccessful and anyone would like to see them give me a call and I will email...

I viewed this car at midday and will be surprised if more panels dont fall off it by midnight ! The drivers door is literally hanging off ! A strange mixture of yellow paint ( not original ) and red oxide gives the lack of body panels (due to rust ) a rather futuristic look ! An early chrome gear st...

Great news !

I am sure that it will only grow in value, investment wise, and in the interim you will smile every time you take it out.

Jensens of this ilk do not turn up very often and deserve to be on the road.

Happy motoring.

Has anyone seen the gold one on the "classic cars for sale" website ?

In original condition, in Australia and just shy of xxx£70,000 !

Sorry I am not clever enough to put the "link" here !

All this work was carried out by VEight , using the LS2 engine with requisite gearbox / radiator / wiring loom / exhausts. I forewent the larger wheels / rear independent suspension /smaller fuel tank cosmetic body work etc: because I wanted my car to still look original from the outside. I was luck...

I failed to mention that I had the "S" engine / gearbox engine management upgrade last year without all the cosmetic bodywork. A sensible option if you already own a vehicle with a very good body. Effectively I now drive an ultra reliable very fast 36 year old car ! I now leave most cars i...

Ask yourself how many RHD convertibles were made ? less than 90 I believe. Then look at what xxx£36 K would buy you in a modern car, I think you will come to the conclusion that, albeit a lot of money, it represents good value for money . If it were an Aston in this condition you would have to add a...

Hi Aidan,

Any chance of some pictures ?

Also where did you locate your fantastic find ?


Many thanks

Ross

Tim, I did "advise" the dealer to remove it until he had sorted out engine bay access , etc. My point being that anyone travelling even half my distance would not be best pleased on arrival. I also "informed " him that despite the one family ownership it's market value was closer...

For those interested enough to contemplate an "S" engine and gearbox upgrade without all the body cosmetics , a more detailed examination of the fuel receipts ( this time using a calculator !) shows an actual return of 25.6 MPG over a 405 mile journey to and from viewing the above car. How...
