The Jensen Owners' Club

Dear Members, Good afternoon from Los Angeles ! I picked up my MK 2 from the storage to place the original MK 2 wheels back on the car. I had to change the front rotors, calipers, brackets, nuts, center caps etc and new tires to finally have it finished. I managed to get the original style center ca...

Dear Dave,

Thanks for the Classic Automotive information,unfortunately I do not have any calipers to exchange for a set of new ones.

Hopefully,I can just buy a new or rebuilt pair of calipers ?

Cheers Steven.

Dear Members, Good morning from Los Angeles ! THANK YOU all as usual for your comments and suggestions regarding my MK 2 rims/tires. I shall be visiting the UK a week today, for a 3 week vacation and business. I will be in Manchester for much of the time. The guy I bought the MK 2 from, has advised ...

Dear Members, Good evening from Los Angeles ! So I have the repainted MK2 rims and the new Pirelli Tires ready to go,but I still need the correct calipers to change the MK3 rims back to the MK2 rims ? The previous owner of the car now tells me that the old MK2 calipers are worn and damaged and that ...

Dear Grant, Thank you or your advice and comment. The good news is that I spoke to the original owner of the MK2 and he has the original front calipers !! It turns out that the MK3 calipers are different from the original Rostyle type wheel calipers. The previous owner very kindly has agreed to mail...

Dear Members, Good evening from Los Angeles ! So I took my 71 MK2 to the tire shop earlier today to install the original MK2 rims on new Pirelli P4 tires. We took the MK3 rims off the front of the car and found to our dismay that the original rims would not fit on the car, as the brake caliper was h...

Hi Rocky, When you say "what is it from " do you mean that this engine is NOT from a Jensen Interceptor and is this the consensus also from Steve Payne ? There are numbers on the engine which may shed light on where it came from,I will research later. The seller suggested it may be a Chrys...

Thanks Rocky and Steve for your comments !

I will try to find some numbers on the engine next time I go to my storage, to see if we can find
which car it came from ?

Have a great weekend !

Cheers Steven.

Thanks Cannonball and Dion, I guess the matter is now closed !

Have a great weekend !

Regards Cheers Steven.

Good morning from Los Angeles, Thank you Grant, Steve, Dion for your help with the rims ! I drove over to my storage this morning and brought back one of the MK2 and one of the MK3 rims to compare. Here are the photos. They are exactly the same width form side to side. The MK2 is slightly lower from...

Good evening members from cold rainy Los Angeles ! A few weeks ago I purchased a Jensen Interceptor 1972 440 engine and transmission for my 1974 MK3, that was without an engine and trans. So now I have the body and now an engine/trans to work on in the future, so the project is beginning to come tog...

Good evening members from cold rainy LA ! I was just told by the previous owner of my MK2 Interceptor that the rims that I had refurbished are actually 14 inch in diameter and not 15 inch ??? Is this true, they look the same size to me when compared to the MK3 rims already on the car ! The previous ...

Dear Grant, Good morning from Los Angeles ! Yes, I prefer the MK2 and always wanted one, the green color is metallic and looks descent. The car is at my storage yard about 25 miles away , and so I will bring the car to my house this weekend. The green MK2 has paint cracks in the roof and fender,look...

Thanks Joe, I am going to put the 225 x 60 x 15 on the rims and see how they look !

The 225 x 70 x 15 tire makes the MK2 rim look smaller in my opinion,the 225 x 70 x 15 it is considered a truck tire here in the US.

I will send some photos at the weekend !

Cheers Steven.

Dear Chris, Thanks for the details. So to clarify, I am okay to put the 225 x 60 x 15 tires on the MK2 rims ? What is the tire size consensus of the majority of members from past posts, the 225 x 70 x 15 as I put on my 72 MK3 earlier this year ? I actually prefer a little more space between the tire...
