wlaidlaw Posted January 5, 2015 Share #7141 Posted January 5, 2015 Advertisement (gone after registration) I did a presentation at Jensen in around 1970, trying to sell them our computerised analysis of guarantee claims system. They did not buy. The factory was a gloomy, dirty relic of the WW1 arms manufacturing business in West Bromwich. I am not surprised that the Jensens, Volvos, Austin Healeys and Sunbeam Tigers which were made there were unreliable. If you can imagine the diametric opposite of the gleaming operating theatre McLaren assembly plant in Woking, you will have a picture of what Jensen was like.

stuny Posted January 6, 2015 Share #7142 Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) P1800ES or P1800S are common misnomers. The "P"s stood for "prototype," were assembled by Jensen, and were the earliest 1800s. The "S" indicated they were built later in Sweden, so none of the line (including the ES shown here) had both P and S in their names.

Rona!d Posted January 8, 2015 Share #7143 Posted January 8, 2015 P1800ES or P1800S are common misnomers. The "P"s stood for "prototype," were assembled by Jensen, and were the earliest 1800s. The "S" indicated they were built later in Sweden, so none of the line (including the ES shown here) had both P and S in their names. Stu, that are interesting details. I have an official 1963 swedish brochure from Volvo with "P 1800 S" in the headline. You can find a PDF-link here. In the early swedish brochures from around 1961/62 they name it P1800, in 1963 "P1800 S", later "1800S", "1800E" and "1800ES" without "P", BUT they did partly use (older?) photos with "P 1800" on the numberplates.

John Z. Goriup Posted January 8, 2015 Share #7145 Posted January 8, 2015 I'll stick my neck out and say……….. it's a DBR 2 Aston-Martin. JZG Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rona!d Posted January 8, 2015 Share #7149 Posted January 8, 2015 No Jag, no Maserati, although it carries the heart of one of these two. And there are some design genes of an Aston as well. And it´s a decade younger than it looks like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlaidlaw Posted January 8, 2015 Share #7150 Posted January 8, 2015 My local kit car maker, Kougar, used to offer a Jaguar engined Maserati/Ferrari-ish looking car called a Monza, which looked very like this but the finish looks too good from what I remember of a friend's Kougar Classic (the Healey Silverstone look alike).

Rona!d Posted January 9, 2015 Share #7153 Posted January 9, 2015 Sorry, not. It´s much closer to Aston Martin than to Jaguar, although the engine is Jag. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wlaidlaw Posted January 9, 2015 Share #7155 Posted January 9, 2015 There is a car made by Barchetta I think, which is a DBR2 replica usually with a 3.4 Jaguar engine fitted. There are a number of other makers of DBR2 replicas, as people have got bored with C and D type replicas. The Aston replicas have the other advantage that in comparison to a D type, you can sit a passenger in without cutting his legs off first.

Rona!d Posted January 9, 2015 Share #7156 Posted January 9, 2015 It´s a 1968 Aston Martin DBR1 Tribute. One of the better ones, nothing to compare with the poor copies. I think John Z. Goriup was close enough and the first one, so it´s his turn. Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted January 10, 2015 Share #7157 Posted January 10, 2015 Thank you, Ron. I finally get to use some from my replenished stash of fresh images of interesting cars at the '14 Pebble Beach Concours. A word of warning - it's not what you may initially & immediately think it obviously is. JZG Welcome, dear visitor!

John Z. Goriup Posted January 11, 2015 Share #7160 Posted January 11, 2015 Ronald, yes it is, which does not bode well for a keeping this car a mystery for very long until it is identified.
