Yes Nigel my son's a keen photographger so he decided to take a few pics. I must say he's made my rough old Mk II look rather good. Are you looking to join the completely mad, irrational world of Jensen ownership?

Super photos of a very worthy car paul.

Mad, irrational surely these arent words that could be possibly be associated with jensen ownership :D and yes sometime in distant or not so distant (hopefully) future I hope to be a proud owner

Anybody else have cars or know of any in Ireland. Surely some of the ones originally sold in ireland including the north must be knocking around in some barn or possible still on the road?

There are a few listed on the mk1 website, but you will have to check the list ( I don't list by location)

But trawl this link

I met an ex Jensen owner at the weekend who sold his MK1 FF to a guy in the North who has completely restored it to it's former glory, including returning it to it's original moorland peat with a silver roof.
The guy I spoke to said he had bought the car in Kerry. Do you remember Paul [McElhinney], how many people we spoke to in Dublin who had bought an FF in Kerry? At least two that I remember.
I can't see the bottom of the hole I've dug!

Ahh brilliant find, Eddie lives not to far from me, father knows him pretty well, if I can remember correctly it may have been in a bit of a rear accident or It could have been another of his classics

Tony Cullen's crystal blue Mk I registration number TIU 875 is an original Irish car. He had it up for sale a couple of years ago, I'm not sure whether he sold it.

FF Mk II chassis number 127/207, the registration number in the factory records and Calver being erroneously listed as 359 RI as opposed to 7359 RI. Originally moorland peat (brown) with metallic fawn roof, beige interior, Voxson and sundym glass, engine number 1937/127E, ex-factory 13.1.70.
