Thank you Chris
.. I thought it maybe your good-self that came to the rescue
, No, it's not mine
, it's a friend of mine, but it seems that the engine number in the car is GF1183702, but that doesn't seem to be a Jensen number does it?.. do you recognize that sort of sequence Chris or understand the number GF1183702 please?

Grant, with over 3,000 posts on here isn't it about time you greased Mr.Calver's hand? There may be a few secondhand copies of the first edition available now that the newer and BIGGER version is out there.

The thing is I only ever need the bible to help other people.. It's not like I change my Jensens regularly, having said that I would like one but I can't afford £400 odd for a new copy to help others.. I have put a wanted ad up so lets see what comes up.. and for you Dunc & your comments you get
>>& when I come to see you again this will be me

Is that actually the book or just a nice picture of proper Jensens? (Those overalls look ‘awfully’ clean Grant, they look like they could do with a good oiling, I always keep mine well-oiled).

Hello John
.. I have 3 pairs and wash them everyday in my barn washing machie@60deg after wearing them that day
, I wear nutrile gloves on and off all day and still wash my hands at regular intervals John, I've been to seek help and they look at me as if I am a looney
, I always promptly leave the room
knowing that they are the looneys, I then drew this picture or sketch John to express my feelings of these head doctors >>>
