The Jensen Owners' Club

Thanks! I took them both out for a run and had a great time, bystanders craning their necks etc . The Austin powered 541S is rock steady, with excellent straight line stability, corners well too. Once in top gear it just goes on, defiantly a long distance touring car. It is reminiscent of driving a ...

Its got to be vinyl. You just have to avoid potholes and bends...

I reckon that's the nicest FF I've ever seen, and being Mk2 aswell, stunningly glorious https://joc.org.uk/smiles/big_standart/nyam2.gif I bet that makes Big Money that car..well I'd be surprised if it doesn't..beautiful https://joc.org.uk/smiles/big_standart/nyam2.gif You may have a nice steering ...

. The guitar community is really into cellulose for restorations of period electric guitars and new and customised ones too. Some seem to mix/make their own paint from raw materials. Luthiers do use cellulose but a guitar is much smaller than a car, (Gretsch White Falcon excepted ! :D). If you have...

Needless to say Chris, I would personally have it metallic fawn. The colour is luxurious, like sparkling champagne when the sun hits it. I am not sure of the black roof though, but for originality's sake maybe this should be the way to go....

That's a lovely pic too Francis..so period and cool https://joc.org.uk/smiles/big_standart/hi.gif ..Great to hear from you Francis https://joc.org.uk/smiles/big_standart/drinks.gif Thanks Grant. I have just realised there is a figure in the back of the car - probably me :D. I would definitely have ...

This is the car that got me into Jensens, my dad's Interceptor MkIII, pictured in Croyden with my mum getting into it. I always loved that colour, together with the Sundym glass the car was a stunner.

I think the wrong auction was chosen. The Jensen FF is a world class classic that warrants a place on any portfolio of "rich mans toys". Perhaps Sotheby's or similar would be a better choice of auction house?

I was checking for play in the front suspension of an Interceptor which was mostly coming from the lower ball joint, it was so bad that when removed a flat had been worn on the balljoint and it had damaged the vertical link/stub axle, this has clearly been wearing for a long time. For a few pounds ...

Yes, that is Eric. I had my FF fully re-trimmed in ivory Connolly hide, it looked great . Jensen did a lot of other bits to 127/218 at the same time...

I made a trip to Jensen at Kelvin way around this time too. In retrospect I was very lucky that I was allowed to wander around and look through their archives in a very friendly atmosphere, but it was good business for them too as I was buying a lot of spares from them at the time. Boss Ian Orford w...

Its them geezers "Gilbert and George" innit

Heres one then....

What a lovely car . Is it GRP? There are no panel lines in the sills....
