Me and the Hemiceptor.
Will upgrade the drum brakes

Yes!! Can't wait to see the Hemiceptor! Last time the speeding ticket cost me quite a bit when I was trying to keep up with your C-V8 on the way down to Lausanne heading towards Turin. But then again, 3 kmh more and I would have had to appear before the judge and the fine would have quadrupled.

Two C-V8s and two FFs at the gas station. Probably a pretty much unique sight- anywhere:

well, not so rare, because they do often stop at gas stations...


by the way, Wikipedia mentions only 10 LHD CV8s made,is it correct ? how many known/left ?

Yes, but I bet you won't ever see this constellation, unless you stage it.

According to the Chassis Book: 8 LHD MkIIs, 2 LHD MkIIIs. One was converted back to RHD, but I've forgotten what then happened, and if it's one of the 10. No LHD manuals. One LHD MkII here in Switzerland (Hanspeter Wieland's, the man with la pipe). Jens has one. At least 2 (?) are in the States or Canada. Kollinger in Austria has one. John or Richard will have all the details

Hans Harting, treasurer of Het Jensen Genootschap Holland has a very nice LHD C-V8 MkIII which was imported from Canada years ago.

Hi Gill, hi Stuart

We'd very much look forward to having you here! Best, Felix

Jens CV8 Mk3 was converted to LHD, so noe of the ten.
Kollinger had also a second CV8 Mk2 converted to LHD while his other MK2 was the only CV8 that Jensen sold to Germany.

Hi boys,

I know I said I can't make it, but checking the dates in my work diary, the event I will be working on actually finishes on 3rd October, so I may be able to do it, just a long drive Wednesday night and all day Thursday, some 650 miles and 12 hours. Would love to do it, but the old girl needs some expensive work on her now, including engine inspection as one plug is oiling up, besides the gearbox rebuild.
At the moment you can put me down for a hesitant yes, when will you need to have a definite answer?

The way things are going, Felix Andy and co are possibly putting the band back together

Don't see the problem. You've got 12 months to do it!!
Likewise, after 6 years continuous use following its 10 year lay up in the Jersey barn and with only routine maintenance and necessary repairs, mine also needs some significant works. I've already started, the tailgate is now off and glass removed to get the tailgate rusty bits repaired. Engine inspection to follow as oil pressure is on the low side and it leaks "everywhere"!

[felixkk]

We´re joining! Looking forward to it.

Yes! Delighted that you're coming- and thanks for the ride!
