1956 Jensen 541

1956 Jensen 541

Back in 1986, when I was a mere lad of 23, I imported my first ever car from the UK, a Jensen.
I had honestly never ever heard of the make Jensen before, but a friend of mine said it was a genuin british luxurious car, and I bought it.

An enormous Austin truck engine, sized 3993ccm, producing some 130 bhp, rests under the bonnet
The car is all leather inside - and fiberglass outside.

Later the same year I bought my first flat, and the Jensen had to go.
Now, exactly 20 years later, I'm thinking of buying the very same car back, from the guy who bought it 20 years ago. It has been dry-stored in a barn all this thime, and I hope it is in relative good condition..
