Sure is no S4, a lot of money could well have been spent at JCC ltd, as has had the 'S4 kit' nailed on, the options were as few or as many.
They were gold times, we have them now, while they last, but- while we have eveyone jumping on the bandwagon, just like back then & also have firms tipping up everywhere apparently expert, just exacly like last time small skill trading-'we do full restoration to concours standard' etc,the classic press is full of 'new expertise'. difference is we dont have the factory this time sadly-
This car is a factory update or parts supplied (uncle colin did lots), I think all those that went back for such are special- like sending a AMV8 back to tickford street in 1990 for a X-pack vantage upgrade or a Virage for 6.3 widebody- they are held in high regard.
I think the Jensens that went they way should, the owners in many cases invested very heavily.

Quite a few of those 'new firms' circa 1990's work has come on to the market, they will be the wobbly Interceptors with almost every shape wrong slightly, not a resto more a flop over cover job, then hidden as by then the market crashed horribly.

Those very well sorted cars (they were lucky) are still in good shape in main- esp if a Factory job-or Colin!
Those mirrors alone were mega coin!!

I've seen the car in the metal and it appears to be a good solid machine, as Tim points out there has been a shed load of money spent on it over the years.

Mirrors were more than 300 quid if I recall the receipt that came with my (fortunately - thanks Tim) "factory" rebuilt car.
