Re: 1974 Interceptor Convertible Restoration Project

No Mine hasn't got the little leather strip that goes behind the trim guys, unless of course I took it off when I was stripping the car, but I don't remember doing that and I think I would have remembered because I'm a little freak like that :lol:

Re: 1974 Interceptor Convertible Restoration Project

Re: 1974 Interceptor Convertible Restoration Project

Interesting. I was just pondering whether it was a Jensen "fix" to stop the hood frame mechanism rubbing against the metalwork of the wing on some cars which may have run out of clearance. As you can see from Dino's picture, it can be very close. Hmm, I maybe getting muddled up then with ...

Re: RIP Colin Holley

Really sad to hear of Colin’s passing. Much love and condolences to Mel and to the family. I first met Colin about 20 years ago. I had no idea Colin would restore 3 Jensens I would own, two of which I still cherish - more so now that Colin has passed and his skilful hands and unparalleled Jensen kn...
