I don't know how many joint Jensen/Mercedes owners there are out there but I ran across this in my monthly AutoRestorer magazine. Mercedes Assistance Program "Owners of older Mercedes Benz cars can now call the company to check on the availability and price of replacement parts. The company announced that "classic car specialists, armed with a complete set of technical data," are on call between 9 am and 5 pm EST, Monday through Friday at a toll-free number-- 866-MBCLASSIC (622-5277)." Article goes on to say that the caller must have a chassis number or VIN, and MB will check availability and price and provide a phone number for a dealership that will order the part. E-mail inquiries, which must include chassis # or VIN, can be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Says MBUSA President and CEO, "The future market for classic car services continues to grow. It behooves us to ensure that the total Mercedes ownership experience effectively encompasses all of our vehicles." End of article. Makes me wish I'd kept that old 190SL that I once had. Nice car, just too hard to keep up with the rust. Still looking for another one. I know that Rolls Royce also provides parts services for their older cars as much as possible. There are stories about Rolls once stating that they would provide parts for the life of the car. Any truth to that or is it just another RR myth? I'm just glad that we Jensen owners have such a good group of aftermarket suppliers, surprising really, considering the low volumes on the Interceptor and the high attrition rate on the JH. How about that, I did get some Jensen content in there ;-) Dick Dell Raleigh NC _______________________________________________________________________ This message comes to you by way of the Jensen-cars mailing list.
