Jensen built Volvo P1800

Post by zacmarshall »

December's car of the month is Keith Hudson's Jensen built Volvo P1800.

Keith ('rock' on the forum) has completely rebuilt the car, and has also rebuilt an Interceptor and an award winning 541-S that features in the latest torque magazine.

It was built at West Bromwich by Jensen Motors, and lovingly and correctly restored by a true enthusiast.

What a magnificent motor car!

Now Keith (Hudson) send me the story and the photos, and it will go in the magazine!

Another wonderful car Keith! Although judging by the first photo, the annual Volvo Classics Award didn't give you much competition - yours, a 262 coupe and a green skip, in an empty field?

Are you taking a break now, or is another project planned? And what happened to your other 541S that didn't get restored?

Beautiful. I think we'll have to have an area of car park devoted to you and your lovely cars at the 2010 International... :D
