The Jensen Owners' Club

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165149896084 Bidders should note that this is a very early engine which is noted by the "Austin" script on the block right hand side. Probably very early 50's. Apart from the above, the distributor clamp is held on by one bolt on some of these . Push rods are di...

I fully sympathise with "Woodie's" experience and chagrin. Was this exclusion fact well advertised in the Magazine and forum well before the event ? If not, then I feel he was well justified in feeling put out of the inner sanctum. If this failure was going to re-occur next year, then sure...

I can't swear to it, but I seem to remember that Phil Dudley had the PJD reg on the car when he owned it. Phil lived in the Yate area near Bristol and several CV8's went through his hands.I went to his house once and there were around three CV8's in the back yard. Phil went over to Jaguars I think a...

Many cars have gone abroad, one ex USAF friend took back three CV8's with him when his posting at RAF Benwarters/Woodbridge air base ended. One of these three was later stolen while he was on another posting out east. John Staddon has details of these. However many others have gone overseas never to...

Photo of a 541 R or very late 541, TGX 478 I think the reg plate reads. Taken in front of an inn. For sale listed under Jensen 541 on Ebay.

In the long distant past in the 80's, I went to an auction sale of a company that had gone bust south of Bedford and bought a large box with around 36 of those rear lights. I was selling them for around £18.00 a pair, I believe, which was not a bad profit, as I had bought them for a bid of £36.00 !!...

Is this the CV8 convertible with the extra childs seat in the middle of the two front seats ? From the distant past, I remember seeing it at a Jensen rally at West Bromwich
at the Jensen factory

Front of the bonnet looks a bit strange to me, although it could just be photo angle ? Can't say I like the interior trim/dashboard. Otherwise looks reasonable original.
Mike.

How many of these were constructed ? Just the one ?
Mike.

Chassis had to be cut away on the n/s for the transfer box. I hope the fan belt can be removed ok !!
Mike.

There is a posibility that the bonnet mould for the 541 was modified into the 541R shape to save costs. When the 541 stock of bonnets was exhausted then only the R type were available. I seem to remember that both types were made during the 80's by Liz Wright in Essex and I think that the section of...

Chassis no. 59/5633 1956 car , not 60's as advert states !! Original owner was W Parton. Looks like the car has most of the original chrome which is a plus.Wonder if the seat shells are with the car? Heater blower on front outside of bulkhead, not as per the earlier cars.This might have been a facto...

Sorted mine. It was a clash between two browsers, Firefox and Google, now made Firefox the default one and now it seems to be ok. (fingers crossed.)

If I try and access the forum through my normal shortcut tab, I get an error 403, access denied. Only way I can get on the forum is via the main JOC site. Any ideas here ?

I knew this car when Kenny Bowden in Norwich (near the airport) owned it. He looked after it well and it was always pretty spotless. It was in his ownership (or his father's) for several years. The family also owner a mk. 1 Interceptor, one of the very early ones. Kenny passed the S on to his nephew...
