The guy that set up Rejen is Jason Lawrence, he is now trading as River Bourne Classics

https://riverbourneclassics.co.uk/

They have a very impressive set up. There is a Nisa local shop at the front, then Williams Garage behind and River Bourne in several buildings behind that.

Jason always used a wide range of specialist suppliers for refurbishment or new parts. It is an interesting move to take on other makes as well as Jensen in a new business. New challenges, fixing different problems can make you look at familiar problems in a different light. Also it brings you into contact with experts that have skills that might be useful to the Jensen community. It will be interesting to see how this develops over time. Historically the Jensen market has had its ups and downs being a relatively small pool of owners. If interest drops off in restoring classic cars for a few years, as it does from time to time, there simply aren't the number of Jensen restorations going on to survive off.

You also have Jensen Parts New Zealand, who are getting new parts made, like FF bonnets, and some more cool things for Mk1 Interceptor/FF owners might be in the pipeline from them

There were 5 Jensens of different models in the "dirty" workshop, where the bodywork repair work goes on, plus another 3 or 4 more in the "clean" workshop. They do the bodywork and prep for painting but final painting prep and painting is subcontracted to a specialist painter in a separate business in another building on the site.
