Hi all,
Drove by the garage yesterday (dont go in) just drive by from time to time, , to check up on the sorroundings.
But if I stop, and listen carefully, I hear this from behind the door =

Merry christmas from Denmark to all of you .

Hi.
Well not much hope left now .
The newspaper article I saw last week, had his Daughter listed as "owner" of the 2 villas, thats up for sale.
So a few days ago I tried typing HER name into the search bar on my computer.
That was IT = "Pandoras box" opened, but unfortunally not with good news.
I now found out just how shy a person he is.
No one have seen him in decades, only "hearsay" about him being spottet in Cannes / Nice or London from time to time.
His nickname in the financiel world is "The secret millionaire" the only picture of him is more than 40 years old.
Today I made a new attempt to contact him, I found the journalist who had spoken with him,
and ask if he would foreward a letter from me, and see if I can get him to contact me ?
Not much hope but if I dont try = I will keep thinking "what if" ?
That was the story of "mr JanSpeed" aka "The secret millionaire"
pure anorak stuff, but its a part of how/why my car was built, so I wanted to share it with you guys.
I hope (atleast some of you) can put yourself in my place, and see how frustrating it is.
Jens Christian
PS
part of this tekst, is translated from an article by Johan Winther / Berlinske media. |
Hi all
Today was THE day  = I recived a Email from mr JanSpeed aka "the secret millionare" 
The mail confirmed the story about him spotting the engine on a pedistal.
But it was not at the Earls Court Motor Show, as I previusly have heard.
It turned out that he was in Salisbury to have his Range Rover extended.
JanSpeed did many of these, and were "the place" to go for such conversions.
While there he spotted the JanSpeed A series show engine, with its turbo, on its special made pedistal/frame, in their sales room,
and asked about buying it for the Wood & Pickett back home in Denmark.
They agreed to selling it, and he had the car send over for the conversion to be carried out.
Mr JanSpeed lived in England at this time, so my car spend a 3 months in UK after it left JanSpeed,s workshop in Salisbury, before returning to Denmark.
After its return to Denmark, he loaned the car to a executive from his movie company.
This must have been the time some of the people I have spoken with spotted it around the city of Copenhagen, getting more & more sorry to look at.
Some have told me they saw it parked in the gutter, covered with snow & salt all through the winter.
I have now come "full circle" = established contact & communicated with all my cars previus owners.
Only had the car since winter 1999/2000 but finally made it.
Jens Christian

Wow, nice story Jens.
Congrats, I know you've been after him for quite a long time but perseverance paid this time round!
I am not as determined as you and probably would have given up by now! |

Yes Bob2 I can be very patiently, but not always
Here is a picture of the mould a friend of mine made.
it will make it possible to cast new rubbers, for the Wood & Pickett overriders.
Here is a reminder to the state of the originals
