OUR HOLDINGS & AIMS

001_withplanes.jpg - 23397 Bytes

Jensen FF chassis number 119/001 photographed by Michael Cooper in 1966

Our archive consists of files for each of the 320 Jensen FF cars built. These are maintained by chassis number, and any information or material relating to a specific FF is held in that file.

We also hold general files, relating to Jensen cars (including the FF). This includes original documentation, manuals, brochures, articles, books, magazines etc

The holding also includes a large photographic archive, which includes the entire Michael Cooper photographic archive of Jensen related images.

We are constantly endeavouring to enlarge our archive, and to this end would be happy to hear from anyone who might have information or material relating to all Jensen cars.

In particular regard to the Jensen FF, we seek information relating to any previously scrapped or dismantled FFs.
Any photographs of the Jensen FF, taken any time from 1965 until the present day (irrelevant of the cars condition).

Any information relating to former owners of Jensen FF cars (if you were a former owner, we would be delighted to hear from you).

We also are keen to acquire any films which show the Jensen FF car.


In particular a film entitled 'Special Booking', released in 1970 and starring Michael Crawford. Also the music video The Road to Mandalay by Robbie Williams.

PAINT & PAINT CODES ARCHIVE

We hold many of the original paint codes and paintcards used by Jensen Motors, particually for FF and Interceptor production. If you are planning to have your car resprayed to the original colour, then feel free to contact us. We can provide the original paint code if we hold it, and offer advise in obtaining paint to these codes.

We are always trying to enlarge our archive of paint and paint codes.

If you have any section of original metal or glassfibre which still has the original paint (and serves no further use) then we would be interested to hold the section within our paint archive. If the section is too large or awkward to post, then we can have our courier pick the item up.


THE MATERIALS ARCHIVE

Another holding which we are keen to expand, is the Materials Archive. It is the archive's intention to hold original samples of all materials used to build Jensen cars (all Jensen models, all ages). This includes, all colours and types of leather, carpeting, carpet edging, floor underlay, head lining etc. This may be of considerable benefit in the future to those trying to restore Jensen cars to absolute originality. If you have any old original bits of material left over after a re-trim then we would be very keen to hold them within our archive. If possible, we would like to know what particular chassis number the material part came from.

THE FUTURE

A question often asked, is what will happen to the archive in the future. In particular, if its founder, and custodian, Ulric Woodhams was deceased. An agreement has been reached with Warwick University, that the archive section will be transfered into their care at that point.
