Re: Jensen P66 Prototype

Coming back to the car(!), I think the sales blurb does it no favours describing minor surface defects as though they were important. It is also wrong in places, describing the vinyl as leather. Don't be out off by the fact that its a prototype. Having owned this car for longer than anyone else and ...

Re: Jensen P66 Prototype

Hi Mike, Thank you for your reply. I did expect it to be California Sage as seen on some Aston Martins. It would be nice to have a specific code to refer to, but I assume you do not have this available anymore? Cheers, Niels-Erik No. But it was a standard Jensen colour, so others on here may know i...

Anyway, do any of you gentlemen by any chance know the modern paint gode for the nice color?
Best regards,

The original Jensen colour was "California Sage". This is a 1980s Vauxhall colour which is almost identical.

Re: Straight 6 C-V8

I don't know. John Hazzard did some engine swaps in the 80s. I remember an Aston Martin V8 with a Jaguar engine and something else in a Jensen but can't remember what. Is he still on here?

Re: The Story of Ferguson Formula

There seem to be two versions of the book, one with the FF swirls in the centre of the cover and the other with a picture of a single seater racing car. Anyone know what the difference is?

Am also fairly sure the person coming towards us in the second shot is my brother - then owner of H1.

Re: Blithe Spirit 2020

Just for the record regarding Martin's pictures. In the first picture it looks like the then-owner walking away in the distance. In the second picture that's me and my now wife coming out of the workshop with her hand glued to her ear. I drove CAC 41 part way home from that event and it was just so ...

Re: Survivor stats

Very interesting Richard.

Any plans to project those figures backwards to cover earlier models?

Re: Low powered interior heater for the winter

Yes, I could Chris, though it would get in the way of other cars a bit and cost several more than the car is worth - its not a Jensen. I guess long term I need to rationalise cars!

Re: Low powered interior heater for the winter

Thanks Kees. Tubular greenhouse heaters seem to be 45w or 80w, so I hope it would do something. I know - the alternative is to actually use the car, but that's not possible just now!

Re: Low powered interior heater for the winter

One reason for not wanting a mains heater is the need to keep a window open for the cable. I hoped 50w 24/7 would do a little. I guess better still would be a dehumidifier, but can't find one for 12v.

Low powered interior heater for the winter

This isn't for a Jensen, but could be. I have a car which is kept outside during the winter, with the battery on full time charge. Obviously, with cold and damp the interior has a lot of condensation. So, could I plug a low powered heater into the cigar lighter socket and run it 24/7, just to lift t...

Re: Rusting A90 (541) wheel on ebay around £30

Any idea of a date for John's statement that "JML fitted reinforced wheels to later cars." Over the years I've seen a few C-V8s with Rostyle wheels including one "E" registration which may have had them from new. So could the JML statement have meant those, or was it earlier? Mike
