Az usual Will, Ah Big Thank You for all the Great Pix. BTW, Next time you get a peek under the hood of a Jenson, Pay particular attention to the Idler Pulley set up between the compressor and Alternator on the 440 in the Jenson. Mother didn't get that right 'til the 440 waz replaced by the 400. Try finding that setup for your 440 in ah swap meet, lol. I fabbed one for my Hurst after both V-belts reversed on the pulleys on me on route to a WPC in Naperville meet in the late '80s. Stay well Pal, Jer

Looks like a great time - thanks for all of these photos - some rarities mixed in, too - one doesn't see Jensens too often. Here's another one of my stupid questions, what are these "metrics" that keep getting mentioned...….. ?

Are they called "metrics" because they're technically based on the Mercedes w210&w211 platform? or because of some other reason?

Not sure.

I think it started on this site to differentiate the classics using the old SAE and the newer models that use metric hardware.
