Many thanks to Jim Smith (Challenger) for completing the restoration of my Jensen Interceptor OHU 1M . Lots of hard work has made this car as good as it can be. Jim attentive to detail can be seen right down to replacing every nut and bolt, and retaining as much of the original car as possible. There’s a fine balance between renewing every part against restoring existing parts and I think Jim has got the balance just right. The car drives superbly and Jim’s work should ensure the car continues to grace our roads for another 30 years or more.
Jim’s a very modest man and perhaps doesn’t realise how good he is. May I recommend Jim Smith of J S Auto’s to anyone wishing to have their Jensen refurbished. He’s a true specialist in what he does and has a passion for Jensen cars. He has extensive experience in Jensen’s and Mopar V8’s.
