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?

Nope.

THE LAST 6 NUMBERS WOULD BE CHRYSLERS LAST 6 OFF THE CARS VIN, THE LETTERS BEFORE ARE ENGINE SIZE CI ANDTHE PLANT THE CAR WAS BUILT AT, BUT YOU SEEM TO HAVE 7 NUMBERS IT SHOULD BE ONLY SIX,,

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 >>>
