Patrick, Back in the '70s bigger was better and more speakers was all the rage. When I got my J-H in '93 it not only had ...   04-10-2020 04:38 pm

Bruce, are you saying Lloyds actually has the Jensen-Healey logo to embroider, I'm impressed! Most aftermarket places not only don't list J-H, they've never even ...   04-09-2020 03:28 pm

PF18602, Since my last post a year ago on this thread I've finished the interior(Rejen)and had the same problem with replacement speakers. A PO at ...   04-09-2020 03:11 pm

When I got my car there wasn't much underneath the rubber mats except some hardboard, additional rubber pieces, some water, and a lot of rust. ...   04-08-2020 03:12 pm

After replacing the wiring harness and a complete redo of the interior, including all rubber seals, I guess I should have used a broader title ...   04-06-2020 03:29 pm

Bruce, All that stuff works great if there's something there to put it on. As you can tell I'm not a big fan of those original rubber ...   04-05-2020 03:35 pm

If you could mount your Halon extinguisher under the hood and rig it so you could activate from the passenger compartment that might be ideal. ...   03-29-2020 03:43 pm

Since our cars have a reputation for fires under the hood being prepared just makes good sense. The goal should be to extinguish the fire ...   03-28-2020 04:37 pm

No apologies necessary Tim. I always find your posts interesting and chocked full of interesting information. ...   03-28-2020 03:42 pm

Before you make your final decision on paint Google "Lotus Europa gold leaf". While the F1 cars did have a gold nose which I agree ...   02-28-2020 03:11 pm

Looks like you have the original license plate as well. That's pretty cool that the car stayed in the family since new. Near as I ...   02-25-2020 03:21 pm

When you say you're going to do a "Gold Leaf" car are you going to paint a gold beltline stripe and white underneath? I think ...   02-25-2020 03:09 pm

The other day I was out running errands in the Jensen. In the parking lot at Target I was approached by a guy who complimented ...   02-24-2020 04:51 pm

You've only got five problems, lucky you. On problem number 1, since it lights I wouldn't mess with the light unit itself, if you do ...   02-24-2020 04:15 pm

Wow, that's a lot of Loti. Do they just keep following you home? The funny thing is when I owned my Super Seven back in the ...   01-02-2020 03:12 pm

Tim, I can see why the J-H would be at the back of the line since Chapman never made a car that wasn't cool, however you ...   12-31-2019 03:45 pm

Tim, Wow, I'm continually stunned by the content of your posts. You sound more like a Lotus engineer than a Jensen-Healey hobby guy like the rest ...   12-30-2019 04:22 pm

Taking another look at the photo, the word under extras/options looks like it could be "Sanyo" which is a radio. Sanyo car radios were popular ...   12-29-2019 05:23 pm
