Page 1 PRESIDENT’S PAGE I guess I should claim that my page last month contained a test to see if anyone read my mutterings – the first paragraph contained some of the most tangled words I’ve seen in ages. Naturally, I took the first opportunity to say to our Editor “what did you do to my perfect prose?”. She replied “nothing at all, if it was gibberish, that was how you wrote it – I didn’t notice anything different from the usual”.

  • Alan and Richard Jensen Produced Their First Car in 1928 When They
    Alan and Richard Jensen produced their first car in 1928 when they converted a five year old Austin 7 Chummy Saloon into a very stylish two seater with cycle guards, louvred bonnet and boat-tail. This was soon sold and replaced with another Austin 7. Then came a car produced on a Standard chassis followed by a series of specials based on the Wolseley Hornet, a popular sporting small car of the time. The early 1930s saw the brothers becoming joint managing directors of commercial coachbuilders W J Smith & Sons and within three years the name of the company was changed to Jensen Motors Limited. Soon bodywork conversions followed on readily available chassis from Morris, Singer, Standard and Wolseley. Jensen’s work did not go unnoticed as they received a commission from actor Clark Gable to produced a car on a US Ford V8 chassis. This stylish car led to an arrangement with Edsel Ford for the production of a range of sports cars using a Jensen designed chassis and powered by Ford V8 engines equipped with three speed Ford transmissions. Next came a series of sporting cars powered by the twin-ignition straight eight Nash engine or the Lincoln V12 unit. On the commercial side of the business Jensen’s were the leaders in the field of the design and construction of high-strength light alloys in commercial vehicles and produced a range of alloy bodied trucks and busses powered by either four-cylinder Ford engines, Ford V8s, or Perkins diesels. World War Two saw sports car production put aside and attentions were turned to more appropriate activities such as producing revolving tank gun turrets, explosives and converting the Sherman Tank for amphibious use in the D-Day invasion of Europe.

  • Highway Hooter Aug 12
    THE NEWSLETTER OF THE FRASER VALLEY BRITISH MOTOR CLUB * AUGUST, 2012 * VOLUME 18 * ISSUE NO. 8 * 1957 JAGUAR XK140 INKEEPING WITH OUR PAST HABIT OF SHOWING OF CAR MODELS RECENTLY ACQUIRED BY CLUB MEMBERS, HERE’S A REALLY PRETTY EXAMPLE OF AN XK140, AS ACQUIRED BY THE McCULLOUGHS. THIS ONE’S A BIT UNUSUAL – NO WIRE WHEELS!! 2 PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE – AUGUST, 2012 Ever notice how some cars look fast, even standing still. Most British sports cars fall into that category. Super cars and Italian cars have that “go fast” look about them. American cars, not so much. Even the muscle cars of the sixties and seventies look big and heavy and look as if they aren’t about to slice through a stiff head wind. They are geared so low that they are quick but not fast. Brooklands Race course opened on June 17, 1907 and on that day a Darracq hit 90 MPH on the banked track. (1907 !!!) You will undoubtedly have seen many photos of Darracqs, Bentleys and Rapiers etc. speeding around Brooklands banked tracks. The illusion of speed comes, in part, from the oval wheels and heavy forward lean of the cars in period photos. The cameras of the day used a focal plane shutter, which exposed the film from the top down. As with all film cameras pictures are exposed upside down, so the bottom of the wheel/car is exposed on the film a fraction of a second prior to the top of the wheel/car. That iconic pose of heavy forward lean and oval wheels has come to represent great speed or at least the illusion of it.
