The Jensen Owners' Club

There is much written about checking your fuel hose and replacing with good quality ethanol resistant pipes but how many people check the fuel inlet pipe from filler cap to tank. I have found the same thing on almost every car Ive looked at recently, many of which are very nice cars that have been m...

Happy Birthday Phil

Very true Martin but being a convertable lack of available parts would be my biggest worry, there are a few convertibles missing vital parts to be completed.

It is an absolutely horrible job, even with a completely stripped out engine bay it is not a job I enjoy. I have only done 1 in situ and it was the worst side which entailed removing lots of the heater assembly to gain just enough access which was a shame as all the heatshield was in really nice con...

There are lessons to be learned here from anybody trying to sell any model of Jensen at auction. I find auctions usually better for cars that have problems i.e a rusty body with new shiny paintwork and not for cars that are in good condition, this SP and Zacs old FF have highlighted what can happen ...

Any updates on this as I have booked the International and would like to combine the trip with yours, then plan the rest of my holiday.

Contact the auction house they will be happy to negotiate with the owner.

Hi Felix..if you put a high output alternator on ie the Mitsubishi one that would really help your problem if not even cure it, plenty of amps on idle is the key to get those fans running well on idle while having other things switched on at the same time :wink: This is good advice I have not seen ...

Felix this sounds wonderful will you be staying in dog friendly hotels.

What a wonderful gesture Joerg, this really is “the friendly club”

Sounds great put me Susan and Minty down.

I assume there will be some dog friendly rooms.

It always the engine bay and underneath shots that tell the story with these cars.

It seems the paintwork didnt extend to the lower outer sill panel below the S/S cover which would make me look very close at those inner sills.

Its a shame as the drivers complaints are specific to that car and not the case with a well maintained Interceptor.

Good work John, Ive done that a few times and know just how long it takes but it is well worth the effort in the long term and Raptor is a great coating.

Based on my limited knowledge, good Interceptors (I.e. restored properly) are still selling now for strong money (circa £70k) albeit under the radar, so to speak. Some good ones are also selling too cheap….due to a combination of short selling timescale, bad advice, where sold, and presentation of ...
