The Jensen Owners' Club

John Edwins, known to many Jensen owners and enthusiasts as Kermit passed away today.

Kermit first joined the club in the late 80s and owned what is one of the best known and finest Interceptors in the world.
John was a regular in the club's concours competitions and also won many awards outside the club.
When John bought his mark 1 they were much less desirable than the later cars, I think the resurgence of the mark 1 is due in a large part to Kermit and his car.

I have never wanted an Interceptor, but if I did it would be his one. By miles. Very sorry to hear this news.

A very fine and worthy car. RIP John.

Sad news, stunning car. Pictures don't do it justice.

Respect,

CJ.

Great photos and a great loss, the likes of these people only come around once, lets hope we can all match Kermit's standard with our own cars.

A car I always stopped and marvelled at.....for the best part of 20 years.

RIP John. You deserve it.

I had seen John in the past but never got to really talk to him, but at Gaydon I stopped and talked to him with GaryC, we had much fun and banter with John, he really took the banter well and gave it back too ... His car was stunning, ... what a Huge great loss .... A real ole Gent ... "Proper Chap" With a Proper "Chaps Car" ... Rest In Peace John and maybe we'll meet again somewhere one day
