A Bridge to Jensen: historic workshop acquisition consolidates the marque’s revival
Gama Cars Limited, the Oxfordshire-based company which has been playing a pivotal role in the resurgence of both the Jensen brand and one of its best known models, the Interceptor, has recently acquired Cropredy Bridge Garage.
The high standards of mechanical, bodywork, servicing and restoration work carried out by Gama Cars on the top-of-the-range Interceptor R model now apply to the whole Jensen range, thanks to Cropredy Bridge Garage’s forty years of specialist expertise, history and enthusiasm for the Jensen marque.
Whilst Gama Cars has been building a modern interpretation of Jensen’s grand tourer of the ‘70s by upgrading original Interceptors on behalf of Jensen International Automotive, Cropredy Bridge Garage has been the UK centre of excellence for straightforward restoration work on all Jensen cars (including Interceptors, C-V8s and 541s) since 1972.
‘We already had a close relationship with Cropredy Bridge Garage, because of the workshop’s facilities and skilled staff,’ says Matt Watts, Managing Director of Gama Cars Limited. ‘When the opportunity arose, it made sense to incorporate it into the business and offer the entire range of services, larger facilities and combined expertise to our Jensen customers. We look forward to ensuring we are the marque’s beacon in the UK and abroad.’
Cropredy Bridge Garage is well known to both Jensen owners and marque enthusiasts. Apart from catering for all mechanical, bodywork, servicing and parts needs, it also offers a selection of carefully maintained Jensen models for sale, as well as providing concierge service to those who wish to acquire a specific Jensen. Alternatively, one can be built to individual specifications, thanks to a close partnership with JIA, the company which launched the Interceptor R in January 2011.
Gama Cars Limited is a specialist in modernising and restoring prestige cars: skilled technicians carry out engine enhancement, brake and mechanical upgrades, bespoke bodywork and restoration services. Now with extra heritage.
