5 Interceptors & 1 SP for sale at Cropredy bridge

[slurpysi]

An excellent thread, and interesting to discuss views on current prices.

sorry to be pedantic, are the "orange" cars tangerine - I have been telling everyone my series III is not bl**dy orange !

What is the correct name of the colour for the 'true' orange? I saw a car at the NEC show in 2010 which was an SP (??) in what looked like a very orange , almost Vitamin C colour, it looked amazing ( helped by it's superb condition) and I thought one of the best colours on a Jensen I've ever seen....Mango perhaps??

I suspect that was NLG, which was then Phil Hayes car, I forget whose it is now, but I know that they're active on the forum... Apologies to the now owner!

Tried to be change my avitar but have poor old JB on his side - could some one be good enough to rotate it for me or let me know how to do same.

Calver has the original paint name as Tangerine and I'd never argue with him on any Jensen matter! http://www.richardcalver.com/article_intser4.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

only two shades of blue???

Tangerine just happens to be very close to MG Flame Red. Is it possible that this was adopted?

John.

Thanks Zac

The two best, to my mind, MKIII's are now sold. Glad to see the really good ones moving on and hope their new owners will enjoy them.

There's a lot of buying interest from people new to Jensen at the moment, if members are looking to sell we could shift cars on commission pretty quickly; I agree it's two good MkIII's gone but I also like the SP, it's drives really well and made me grin every time I put my foot down, if I had more garage space I'd have taken it home with me!

Cropredy Bridge seem to have changed their policy on POA and most cars now have prices. Nice looking cars. Bit short for the third building slot at £248,000 though.
