Instead of working on Ms. Jenavieve, I finally get to reap some of the rewards in driving her and showing her off.  This past weekend took part in our second British Car Field Day in Sussex, WI. Once again, I was the only Jensen there (honest, I recruited people at Jensen East) but it was still fun, even though she got classed as a big Healey again.

From the front… lots of people stopped to (1) read the sign, and (2) ask why she had a muffler under her hood.  I told people it was a spare in case the rear one fell off 🙂

From the rear, obviously.  Spent 6 hours the day before scrubbing down the orange peel with 1000/1500/2000 grit wet sandpaper, followed by a couple of grades of Meguiar’s cutting polish and finished with caranuba wax.  Did all but the hood (that has its own set of issues and I didn’t want to bite off more than I could chew that day).  Came out nice, in a way it’s almost a bit more authentic finish since I lost just a little bit of gloss overall.  Had a few people ask if it was her original paint.

And the view of all her cousins.  Austin-Healey 100s and 3000s.  Obviously they got all the votes in the class.  It was fun just being there though.

And one more view.   Actually, one of my best friends from high school dropped by so technically it’s not a picture of Ms. J, but of Ms. Tracy.  But Ms. J is IN the picture.
