This is for sale in Sweden, not sure what car number but looks like 115/3295. Is that roof original and is it a mk1 och mk2?

[Dion]

115/3295 is indeed a Mk1 (115 denotes Mk1 RHD). White with black interior originally, Sundym (tinted) glass. No other option from new, 10/3/1969. So the sunroof is not original.
Would have been nice to see seats and bumpers pictured.
100.000 Krona is approx 8000 GBP

This is really exciting if it is a new survivor! That brings us to 399 Mk1s! Almost the magic 400! Steve will hopefully confirm!

This pile of rust and wreck is a survivor?? Pleeeze! Off to the crusher! It's gone. Remove your rose tinted glasswear. It's a potential space bandit for some rapidly ageing sucker. Kenny38

First can any one confirm how many MK1 LHDs are known.
Second two new finds here in California MK 3 ex president Marcus of the Philippines 2210-9235 very rough condition and dont know yet if its worth saving..
The second is a beautiful 2311.1662 ( hopefully I will be purchasing both cars real soon ).

Thanks for the info about 115/3295. Was in contact with the seller who told me its been in the family since early 80s. Got some more pictures as well, its dirty and needs alot of work but I think its defently worth to save it.

(waiting for JohnW to comment on the excellent original seats)

Thanks for the heads up Dion.

Actually it is the sort of project I would like to take on after a bit of horse trading over the price. I am not saying the price is unreasonable either. Transport would be a killer though so I would be looking for someone that was looking to transport a car to Sweden so I could take that job and piggy back for free as l have a trailer etc..

Looks like a viable project!

In the '90s there was a strong Jensen contingent in Sweden. Perhaps someone local will pick it up.

Ooooh, I’d love to have a go at trying to save those seats! They dont look to be punctured. So get the watering can and heat gun out and manipulate it with your hands. Perhaps carefully re stuff a few areas. What do you think Kenny?

Kenny? Kenny?

[kenny38]

I really think you should all take a deep breath, stand back for a while........and then find you have a pressing appointment with an optician. Only the ash trays can be saved. Surely most of you have more to do with your time than chewing your tongues, salivating and holding your privates while staring at rust porn and abandoned wrecks someone feels he can unload on a highly strung idiot. Seats? can be saved?? what on earth are you injecting. Your brains must be exciting places to occupy. Able to see scultpture where in fact is a pile of rubble (not marble) just fallen off a truck. Book yourselves in and invest money in one of Martin R's meditation sessions. Kenny38

Kenny, you can’t have too many restored MK1 seats in your life (or rather, dinning room).

They’re a bit low for the table but I like your style

Hi Brit Arms

I believe that Steve is now struggling to update the Series 1 Cars on the Forum after the amazing work that he has done to date and has been kindly sending through latest details for me to record

I am now up to a total of 454 Mk 1 cars where i have recorded information on, of which 35 cars are known to have been scrapped, leaving us with a total of 419 cars identified
However not all of these are necessarily survivors as some of the latest sightings I have, are many years ago

In respect of Mk 1 LHD cars, i have recorded information on 24 cars included in the above figures

I have recently sent a spreadsheet of USA cars to Chuck Huber for his further review (not just Mk 1's), but not all LHD went to the USA

Happy to provide further information on the 24 LHD cars that i have recorded information on, as most of these the latest information i have is post 2010, so likely to be all survivors

Kind regards
