It’s worth saying here something too about our Advertisers; thanks to their generosity we are able to offset some 50% of our magazine Paul costs, which really helps the JOC balance its books (and keeps your annual membership subscription costs down).

Northants NN11 9ES BS15 3TF. 4 Chairman’s Interception A view from the bridge o 2019 awaits us. What does this year Shold for the JOC? Hopefully another year to move forward to show the marque at its best around the world, as many of you all did in spectacular manner last year. This year is the 60th anniversary of the prototype 541R, PEA 541, winning its class in the 50th Anniversary Bleriot Air race between London and Paris and it is the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Interceptor and FF Mk II’s. No doubt some form of commemoration of these events will take place during the year. Which brings me to just how many members get involved with events, shows, meets etc. Over the course of the last year or so I have had the opportunity to talk to several officials from other classic car clubs. It would appear that membership numbers are possibly generally solid in most clubs with members leaving, more than likely following the sale of a vehicle, to be replaced by new owners together with lapsed members who return after a while having got the bug again to get a car. Our Chairman in his flying machine (let’s hope he’s enough fuel in it this time)! However, a common theme appears to run through their clubs the same as ours: within the membership, and this does not matter if you are a club of our size or one of the big boys with over 20,000 the Committee. Currently, we will require a new General Secretary members, it would seem the active numbers out there, those that at the AGM when John Lane steps down after many, many, years of actually do something, the ‘get the car used’ brigade etc. would appear outstanding work, often behind the scenes doing “stuff” you probably to be around 10% of the membership.

  • 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.

  • January 2019 2019: the Year of the 3000
    January 2019 THE NEWSLETTER of the EASTERN CENTRE of the AUSTIN HEALEY CLUB 2019: The year of the 3000 http://new.ahc-eastern.co.uk/ ROB’S RAMBLINGS Well, that‟s it for another year! I must say that I am one of the daft souls that loves Christmas. It is a hangover from the working years when the Christmas break was a welcome and much-needed couple of weeks away from the hurly burly of the office. After the frantic excitement of family over the Christmas period however, watching an old film on telly with a glass of something is the next best thing to Heaven! I got my regular couple of books on Healeys and the DVD that Pete Taylor features in about Spridgets, not that I have had much time to read as we have had plumbing problems that await specialist attention – my efforts were unsuccessful. The downstairs loo spewed out effluent of varying degrees of unpleasantness and the macerator system upstairs was jammed by a foreign body as yet unidentified. Tidings of Joy! I enjoyed the Norfolk Christmas Noggin that I feature in the magazine, lots of local friends and a few from further afield that I hadn‟t met up with for a while. This was a great start to the festive season made all the better by Angela Bonner doing the driving! I hope to be at Barrington on New Year‟s Day, sadly Maggi and Roger Byford have had to cancel their planned get-together due to sickness but I am sure there will be many familiar faces to chat to on the Green.

My two years as your Chair is up. At times it’s taken a long time to get here, but somehow the two years seems to have flown by. Alan Inglis takes over as Chair on January 1, 2019, and I move into the Immediate Past-Chair position which will be vacated by John McDonald. So I will be following in the footsteps of past greats like the afore- mentioned John McDonald, and Gerry Parkinson, Fred Bennett, Bart Shaw and many others. My thanks to Bernie Miles for his work keeping track of our finances over the last 5 or so years. Also, my thanks for the help and support of the other members of our Executive Committee: Alan Inglis, Steve Hutchens, John Chap- man, Lorna Hoare, Alan Miles, Bart & Audrey Shaw and John McDonald. As mentioned above, Alan Inglis moves up to Chairman, Tom Popovich joins the Executive as Vice-Chair and Mal- colm Tait also joins the Executive as Treasurer. The balance of the Executive remains as this year. At the Branch Executive level, we have “tickled” the topic of how we can attract more members, especially younger people, keeping in mind that the average age of the current membership is, at a guess, around 60, so the term ‘younger’ doesn’t have to signify people in their 20s, but then it could! More work will be done in the future.
