Apparently an SP
Apparently an SP
This is apparently an SP. I’ll try to find out more. Originally from Canada.

Re: Apparently an SP
Hi Sean
If this is an original LHD SP then a very rare car as only 13 left hand drive SP's
Most of these went to Europe
Let me know if you are able to confirm the Chassis No
Regards

Re: Apparently an SP
Apparently original and for sale.

Re: Apparently an SP
Can’t be many of the 13 in LHD ordered with a ‘deleted’ vinyl roof ?
Maybe it has a aftermarket six pack fitted but not a Jensen SP?

Re: Apparently an SP
Perhaps easier (and cheaper) to remove a vinyl roof during a repaint than installing an aftermarket six-pack… but all options are in play!
It would be good to know what it really is!

Re: Apparently an SP
That is not an SP. It has bumper fillers and the J emblem in the back. It is a newer car.

Re: Apparently an SP
I have seen many cars with the J badges added especially G series cars. I think badges were a big thing in the 70s, so many owners may have added them.slotcarone wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 12:31 am That is not an SP. It has bumper fillers and the J emblem in the back. It is a newer car.
It was and still is a thing to make your car look like its a newer model than it actually is as well.

Re: Apparently an SP
Late US model ( see number plate lights, only fittet to 2211 chassis prefix and convertible ) Engine mounts are lower on SP because the tall intake and carbs, would be very interesting to see the engine bay.
I own some of the odd Jensen
Re: Apparently an SP
I’m awaiting more details - to follow. I am now assured it is an SP

Re: Apparently an SP
I doubt it. It has all of the later stuff like the license plate lights, the J emblem and the bumper fillers. That is most likely a 1973 or 74. Looks like there is no left side door or front fender.

Re: Apparently an SP
I was thinking that too - looks as though the door skin and front wing are missing?

Yes, that's the very rare "extra driver cooling" special model.

Re: Apparently an SP
I think the very tricky answer is it’s being restored.

Re: Apparently an SP
Hi Vin number for this car is 22111396. Does that help and does that identify it as an SP left hand drive or ordinary Interceptor. Many thanks.
