Mate- Very sorry to lose you, proper people, proper uber enthusiast and champion literally of our marque.

If anyone asks for any leads, I shall put them your way, as yours is a proper car (yes proper, but proper is, proper does!) I can say if you were looking for a keeper, Brendan's ride is a car I'd be mega happy to keep.
Another huge loss to our fold- I will miss the concour, feeling guilty you and your little-en (ob not little any more!) putting so much joy and love into polishing the granny out of, what is a prime specimen.
All the very best mate.

So sorry to hear the Jensen will be going Brendan. However, if it's only sitting and not getting used, I can understand.
It's a great car which with only a little work on that front (or is the rear?) wing, sounds like a great buy for anyone.
We miss you Brendan !

[brendan]

Thanks to both for the lovely words I do appreciate it very much.

[Richie]

Can't believe that Yorkshire will no longer be on tour!
Someone is gonna get a great car.
