Re: NEC 2015

I've just realised an interesting fact...... my P66 Coupe was built over the winter of 1965/1966...... so quite possibly construction began around September/October/November time....... this makes the car EXACTLY 50 years old when it won the "Car Of Show" award at the NEC....... what a gre...

Re: NEC 2015

Re: More Jensen models to come.....

Frederic Cros of Silas Models has been over to photograph the P66 in preparation of producing a model in 1/43 scale. I have also supplied him with dimensions and underside detail of the car. All I can tell you is that it is a "future project" and don't know any timescales at this stage. Of...

Re: Dave Newby

Julie & I are so sorry to hear of David's passing.

Our thoughts are with Helen and family at this very sad time. David was a true stalwart for the marque and will be greatly missed in the Jensen community.

Re: Which Jensen cars were exhibited at the Motor Show?

Sorry I'm a bit late on this post.... obviously not checking the Forum as often as I should!! My P66 is indeed fitted with the 383 V8. I think the P66 convertible was also fitted with the 383 engine. The photographs I have seen showing the engine bay of the convertible certainly look like a 383? The...

Re: Interceptor and FF 50th Anniversary 2016 - Turin

So..... if I've read all of the above correctly, and looking at the dates, then the other bonnet could well be that from the C-V8 FF??
