This issue seems full of articles about members taking their cars on various tours and rallies – long may it continue! As well as keeping the Exchequer happy with increased tax receipts from all our petrol purchases, it also allows the public to see the cars in action, as well as hear them. And we do need to drive them as much as possible (which the cars seem to prefer anyway); many people haven’t seen a Jensen for many years – if ever. For once a much-travelled FF – pictured at John O’ Groats Along with David and Jane Turnage (541), and George and Sue on our recent Haggis Trail tour of Scotland Hamill (541), we took our FF on a 2000 mile tour of Scotland (the Haggis Trail) via the Highlands and Islands for two weeks; a wonderful The JOC has always claimed it is the “friendly” club, and recently experience indeed. Some very interesting classic cars came along too; this was illustrated in full. An elderly gentleman had written to our hopefully a full report in the next magazine. However, returning to the Membership Secretary to finally cancel his membership after many theme of many people not seeing a Jensen for years, the cars were years. He’d had to give up driving because his vision had deteriorated all queued up to board the CalMac ferry from Tobermory to Kilchoan; too much. He’d always wanted (but never been able to own) a Jensen, and it was our turn to drive slowly and gingerly down the slipway and nor had he ever ridden in one. He wondered if anyone in the club up the ramp onto the ferry. But we were stopped in mid descent by would be kind enough to take him out for a ride in one? Needless to the CalMac loading master. “That’s an FF!” he said delightedly, “I had say, the members have responded, and he is being taken out for the a picture of one on my bedroom wall when I was a teenager – it was day in a very nice Interceptor indeed – enough said! always my dream car. But I’ve never seen one in the flesh. Would you mind waiting a minute while I take a photo of it?” How could I refuse, Christmas will soon be upon us, and thoughts might be turning to though I was acutely aware that we all needed to board the ferry pdq presents – may I advise that the Regalia Secretary is open for business? as we were island hopping to another ferry later that day...

So where do I start? Firstly, Christmas Greetings and a prosperous New Year to all - even though as I write this it is only just October! The great Jensen extravaganza to eastern Europe has been and gone. I suppose I speak for all that were there. WOW! Massive thanks to Jens and Joerg and their team, for what was a full-on weekend (plus), and such an enlightening time with new friends and brilliant scenery, and a trip into Czech. The enthusiasm for driving events does not seem to be abating. I can only cite the support for the Saxony trip and the potential follow up in On the recent Saxony trip at 80 mph... Germany and Switzerland next year, the recent Devon tour, the Irish (give or take the needle flicker!) trip and of course the minor trip across the pond to the USA! With regard to future events, the Spring Break has now been confirmed It’s NEC time again, and we will be (or will have depending on when for 2-4 March 2018 at the Marsh Farm Hotel just outside Royal you read this) exhibited again at Britain’s premier classic car show. Wootton Bassett in Wiltshire. Further details to follow. As I said in the last magazine….no Interceptor but I did cheat a bit if you know what I mean. Next year, it is 80 years since Jensen Motors The Open Day is arranged for Sunday 15th April at RAF Cosford Limited first exhibited at Earls Court. So, hopefully, we will have at Museum near Wolverhampton off the M54 with free entry and parking. least one car from that show on our stand. Watch this space... Hopefully, a Question and Answer session will take place with former Jensen Motors Limited personnel. (The idea is to record for posterity In parallel with this, various Jensens appear to be emerging from some of the stories and tales of what actually went on at JML back in places they were condemned to many years ago, to see the light of the day. More details to follow soon). day for the first time in a while.

  • Jensen GT De Laatste Der Mohicanen
    Publicatiedatum: 12 september 2002 www.autozine.nl Jensen GT De laatste der Mohicanen Autotest | De samenwerking tussen de legendarische Donald Healey en de firma Jensen bezorgde deze laatste de hoogste productie-aantallen uit de geschiedenis van het merk. De Jensen-Healey cabriolet zou tussen 1972 en 1976 in z'n eentje beter verkopen, dan alle Jensens in de daaraan voorafgaande jaren bij elkaar. En als toetje kwam daar dan in 1975 ook nog eens de Jensen GT bij, waarvan er zo'n 500 de fabriek zouden verlaten. Maar zoals u weet, na het toetje is de maaltijd voorbij. En zo ging het ook met Jensen; in 1976 was de vraag naar Jensens zo ver terug gelopen, dat het bedrijf werd opgeheven. De firma van de gebroeders Allan en Richard Jensen, 541 te vinden zou zijn.

  • 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.

  • 1976 Jensen GT Classic Rally Car PRICE £30,000
    1976 Jensen GT Classic Rally Car PRICE £30,000 ABOUT THIS CAR IDEAL FOR USE ON: Three Castles Trial, Rally of the Tests, Le Jog, Scottish Malts, Classic Marathon, Carrera Atlantica, New Zealand Classic Rally. Preparation Services is pleased to offer this very rare and truly very special 1976 Jensen GT classic rally car. With only 54 believed to be left in the UK, it is doubtful that you will find a better example or one more worth demanding a higher price and for good reason. The car has been with the current owners since 2005 and enjoyed numerous class / category wins and an outright win on the Three Castles Rally 2016. The Jensen GT is an estate or sports-back derivative of the more plentiful Jensen Healey roadster manufactured by the often troubled Jensen Motors in conjunction with Donald Healey and Kjell Qvale. Norwegian / American Qvale imported British cars into the U.S. and when BMC halted production of the big Healey 3000 a replacement was required. Jensen had made the big Healey bodies so it sounds like a match made in heaven. In common with many a great sports cars, parts were sourced from a myriad of suppliers; Colin Chapman’s Lotus provided the fantastic 16 valve alloy 907 engine reputedly the first mass produced modern 16v twin cam, the gear box was initially a somewhat less glamorous Rootes item later replaced with a superior 5-speed Getrag unit while the axle can also be found in the back of a Firenza. The Jensen Healey went on to be Jensen’s best seller and great things were expected of the GT when it was launched in 1975.
