The Jensen Owners' Club

The performance difference between the series should not be a deal breaker because as Rocky says you are able to build it just as you want. Love the lower front bumper (Mk1) and the smaller Italian rear lamps (Mk1 and early Mk2). A pretty big (maybe the biggest), negative of the Mk1 is the missing a...

Good article, nice to see positive things printed about the GT.
Interesting to know if it will have any effect on the auction (which is for a very small market - in Germany with a RHD car).

Project indeed! But seems complete and with nice maintenance papers.

Chassis number D2 was produced in rolling-chassis form in 1931, being purchased from AJS by Chamberlain, King, & Jones, the Birmingham distributor for AJS cars. Jensen brothers, bodybuilders in the early 1900s (and early formation of the well-renowned Jensen Motors Limited), were then paid, to ...

They look a lot like the door mirrors on the Jaguar XJ series 3, and XJS. If so it would not be so hard to find. The mounting plinth might be different.

VFK44 looks lovely!
If the underside is not too rusty I would just get it running and sparingly/carefully use as it is. Not all cars need to be restored.

So how is VFK44 doing? I cannot seem to remember any pictures of it in the last 20 years or so on the forum. What condition is it in? Would be interesting to hear what your thoughts and plans are with the car.

Fully agree with Felix. Also, I do not see pedantry, he is just stating facts.
Keith, your answers often have a way to make people annoyed, or irritated. Amazing because usually there is no reason at all for that.

A handsome car for sure.
My first thoughts were - what the hell with that strange roof antenna?!?! Then I saw the similar lamp post a bit further on

Those Triumph "big saloons" (as they were called back then, nothing big about them nowadays!) are great cars for daily use. I had a few for years. Only sold the last one in 2007 because I wanted something different- a Jaguar 420 which I still have.

Dare I say it looks a bit Kit Car like? Quite. But it is not too bad looking. They should have kept the door window lower edge the same as the horizontal door ridge. And everything after the cabin and above the rear wheel looks too messy. Amazed they found space for a rear mounted fuel tank. No ide...

No, Kees was right with his Fiat 1500.

tailgate shutlines to die for

Luckily it was quicly replaced by the MkII which looked (and handled) so much better. The MkI just does not look right, dumpy and way to narrow rear track. For me, the Mk1 is much more interesting than the hyped up Mk2 with its bling chromed door window surrounds. The Mk1 has something sinister, un...

Received my Genome today - ordered Oct 31. Took maybe a bit longer than others but who cares. No customs problems. Wonderful, thanks Tony!
