What do you call your Jensen?
Re: What do you call your Jensen?
In the club my Mk1 is called "Genghis" believe Tim SP gave the old boy the name.

Re: What do you call your Jensen?
VKF 44 looks just the sort of dusty original unrestored car I love. Back in the late ‘70s I remember seeing a similar very dusty maroon 541S parked in Corfe Castle, before I had realised what preceded the CV8. Strangely though I knew it must be a Jensen even before I saw the badge because of the ‘family resemblance’ to the CV8! It was such a lovely patinated car.
I taught myself car mechanics on an old Volvo 144 that was registered OMP 135K, always known as ‘OMP’ (pronounced as a word rather than the letters). On tracking down the original owner he said that his kids were always endlessly amused by the registration likewise calling it ‘OMP’.
I’ve never called the S-Type anything when it’s driving along perfectly but have been known to call it a few things that can’t be repeated when it’s misbehaving

VFK44 looks lovely!
If the underside is not too rusty I would just get it running and sparingly/carefully use as it is. Not all cars need to be restored.

The future ain’t what it used to be.

I'm still waiting, James.
