Tour to

England JOC

UK

International

Meeting

As this is written we will be 16 people from Norway and total 6 cars, not bad for a

summer season. 2 cars, one FF Torgeir Seim and one Convertible Harald Gulbrandsen travel together on the Brevik(N) to

Immingham ferry. We drive 14.6 via York, Kirkby Stephen, Lakeland Motormuseum and from there to Nottingham, Ilkeston visiting Andy at Richard Appleyard. We all have been invited to a barbeque at Chipping Norton at Martin Ritchies.

Per Eie and Pål Rønning will meet after picking up a GT from Zac. Also they will be in Ilkeston. Others come via Harwich.

Ole Jon Tveito fly over as well and join Torgeir and Harald in Ilkeston. Arne Paulsen and his wife in his CV8 meets us during the week also. A common visit to Martin Robeys on 20.6 is planned. NRK the state television is joining part of the tour and the Intl. meeting with a film crew.

All Norwegians look forward to the trip

with excitement. After more than 1000

years after the Vikings ruling in

England we come back again, this time

not with longships but fine Jensens

and we indeed come with peace this

time..

Facts about Norway

and the Jensen

Owners’ Club cars

The club

was established in 2006,

There are now 102 known Jensen cars

in Norway. Not very bad for a country

with 5 million people. Jensen was

selling only 1(one) Interceptor to

Norway when the factory operated.

Kjell Quale

the Norwegian owner of

Jensen may have had some influence

on later interest. The following cars are

documented so far

Finland, Sweden and Denmark.

Jensen Norway

activities

We try to meet for meetings and trips on a regular basis but since the club is small our economy doesn’t allow a lot. The last 2 years JOCN has participated with great success on the Oslo Motor show in October and when Fast & Furious 6 was shown in Norway we had 2 cars at 3 different cinemas in Oslo, Lillestrøm and Rjukan. Each year we meet at the NSK exhibition in Oslo(May) where all

sports cars are welcome. Some pictures of the above events:

Odds Coupe(1x in Norway). And Haralds Convertible at the NSK.

What is Norway

actually

famous for?

Of course we have the Vikings Harald Bluetooth, Eirik Blood axe

and several others.

Then we invented the cheeseknife especially for brown goat cheese = geitost.

We have the midnight sun, northern light. Then of course people like Magnus

Carlsen(chess world champion), Sonja Henie (figure skating),

Nansen and Amundsen polar discoverers. We actually discovered North

America(Wineland) 5 centuries before Columbus, and there is the oil-gas of

(5)

course, they call us blue eyed Arabs. But oil made us rich. $$$$££££

AHA was a good rock group but they stopped when they were around 30; Rolling Stones just had a concert in Oslo and they are in their 70´s… incredible.

Bunad is various clothing used at special

occasions:

Fish of course, salmon and cod, national dish is LUTEFISK wind dried cod..hmm good once a year served with the famous Aquavit.

Nature is beautiful here but then it is an expensive country :

Pint = £8 Whisky

bottle : £50

Wintersports, no:2 in last winter Olympics.

Some say that Norwegians are born with skis on.. must be difficult!

We also give on behalf of Alfred Nobel the Nobel peace prize which not always

brings peace. Big nations like China do not like us very much..so what,

more…..yes of course…………

Trolls.. we love trolls

Most Norwegians like to have a hytte(lodge) at the sea or in the mountains.

and knekkebrød we all eat.

Viking history in England

Typical longboats which were very

seaworthy. In the Vikingship museum in Oslo you can see 3 refurbished ones dug out in the 40-50´s from clay reasonably well preserved.

Vikings from Norway and Denmark attacked and besieged England and Ireland as from

793 and the long period of raids and also settlement ended in 1066 at the battle of Stamford bridge.

The Viking Age began on 8 June 793 when Vikings attacked the abbey on Lindisfarne, a centre of learning that was famous across the

continent. Monks were killed in the abbey, thrown into the sea to drown, or carried away as slaves along with the church treasures. The Viking devastation of North Hubrias Holy Island was reported: "Never before in

Britain has such a terror appeared" .The North sea rovers were also traders,

colonisers and explorers, as well as

plunderers.York(Jorvik) and Dublin were main settlements. At the most more than 100

longships with each 100 viking warriors at the same time attacked the coast and the rivers of England.

A Jensen Interceptor under

restoration by JOCN member

Erik Lund in Oslo

Erik has been so kind to send us some photos of his Interceptor under restoration. Right now he is

busy with the interior upgrading to Recaro CSE

Ortoped (nice) and cooling fans from Audi. A lot of work doing the leather interior himself. Did you know there are a total of 42 different pieces of leather + the front seats in a Jensen! We wish him strength in his efforts.

Engine bay, new enhanced engine is also part of the plan + lots of work….keep on.

Nice Recaro seats, all automatic. Good job Erik!

Per Eies Jensen FF where it

belongs: The snowy roads of

Norway

Per Eies FF, nice colour in the snow! And its not a one time shoot. Per is normally driving his FF in Norway in winter. That’s what 4-wheel drive is all about…getting there.
