I've just realised that the SV-8 on the stand... isn't!

With two CV-8s on the stand, do you call it a "Mk4"?

Yes

The unique ex Lord Carrington factory C-V8 convertible


Zac2 (Stephen Zacarolli)'s CV8 III


Bob Heydon's Healey mk 1


Bob' Healey again with Mark Rivron's Interceptor II, this is a 1970 Motor Show car


Mark's Interceptor II again


Colin and Diane enjoting their last NEC as Regalia Secretaries


The Viperceptor or Jensen Seagrave - a fantastic car, much nicer then a Interceptor R or S in my opinion





This low mileage SP was for sale for £45,000






This racing 541 was for sale on the same stand for £75,000



There was also a black Intercetptor III on one of the auction stands, I think it got bid to £26,000 and didn't meet the reserve.
Apparently it was a prime example of cars looking better in photos.

Nobody's pointed out the Jensen-built A40 Sports which appears to be on the adjacent stand in the background.

The car is well known to the JOC and once again,I had a long conversation with the charming owner. It did get many approving looks from Jensen owners when its origins were pointed out.

Once again, the JOC had a very successful Classic Motor Show thanks to the efforts of some very enthusiastic Members. There were too many to thank individually but I would like to single out just a few!

The cars really were the stars of the show and I must say a massive thanks to Paul Bridges who laboured night and day to bring along the unique S V-8 Coupe aka the CV-8 MkIV. This was the cars first public appearance in its completed form and it looked great as it motored triumphantly into the Hall and was certainly an eye-catcher. Thanks also to Martin and Hillary Bryant for bringing along the unique factory built C V-8 Convertible which attracted so much attention. Zac Zacarolli brought his great C V-8 Mk111 to complete the “C V-8 Trio” whilst Bob Heydon’s bright yellow Jensen-Healey really was a stunner and Bob enthused about the car to the general public endlessly over the 3 days of the show. Last but by no means least, was Mark Rivron who drove the 280 miles up from deepest Cornwall to allow his great Mk11 Interceptor to attend its second Motor Show in 42 years! I think that both he and the car enjoyed it! All of these cars were much appreciated by the general public and all did their individual bit to keep the Jensen marque to the fore.
Colin and Diane Mayes once again manned the ever popular and impressive Regalia Trailer along with a few other conscripted Members. Unfortunately, this will be their last showing with the Trailer at the Classic Motor Show, but they went out in a blaze of glory.

Thanks also to all those other who helped to make the JOC Stand into the fine spectacle that it was and to ensure that the “Friendly Club” continues to punch well above its weight in classic car circles.

See you all next year,

David

Thanks to all the support as well.
Left at 3.15 on Thursday, 589 miles in all, ?180 worth of fuel and I got home last night at 10.30.
I'm knackered !!
A fine stand indeed.

I just can't help myself but

Getting there (the JH was superb).

All the stand was well trodden by the end.

And lens time


All seriousness it was a shame this never got into production.



Other Jensen products.



And of course, this fine beasty.



And finally a pair of Bristols

Well done, the car looked good and it was nice to have met you but I would not have recognised you from your photo.
