Re: Interceptor and FF 50th Anniversary 2016 - Turin

Chris, following our chat at the International yesterday, here are the photographs I have of BEA 693C, firstly as a C-V8 MkII, then the panels removed in Italy, and finally as the Prototype Interceptor. Note it still has the C-V8 wheels and hubcaps when it returned! http://www.jensenp66.com/images/1...

Re: Jensen P66 Prototype reunited with first owner

He used the car as a daily driver Felix. That was part of the reason why he sold it. He had a growing family and there's not a lot of room in the back seats of the P66!!

Re: Jensen P66 Prototype reunited with first owner

John told me a little about how he came to acquire the car, and also recalled the numerous times that the rear differential mount broke which cost him around £100 to repair each time. Quite a lot of money in the late 60's i guess? I informed him that this had now been "beefed up" and was n...

Jensen P66 Prototype reunited with first owner

Today, I met up with John Atkins, the first owner of my Jensen P66 Prototype. It was a pleasure to reunite John with the car, and also his son, Charles, who recalls standing in the back between the two front seats when he was very young! John purchased the car from Jensen Motors in late 1968. We had...

Re: P66

Just got the June issue of Classic Cars...... with a 4 page spread on my (ex) early Interceptor!

This photo shoot was done at least 18 months ago and I'd given up hope of it actually appearing anywhere, so good to see it in print at last

Some nice words about the original Interceptor!

Bedfordshire Classic Car Show 2015 - Woburn

Many thanks to everyone who turned up at the Bedfordshire CCS at Woburn today....... despite the atrocious weather! Our planned 8 cars was down to 5 on the day and the first few hours were certainly very damp, though it did eventually clear and the sun showed it's face in the end. More clouds approa...
