...and the restoration is thorough enough...

Here is a photo of Jensen H-type, chassis no. HL1, taken when new.
This is a V12 and almost certainly the only V12 Jensen ever built.
The 'L' stands for 'Lincoln' as it has a Lincoln Zephyr engine.

Possibly there was built only one shortwheelbase 2 door saloon
(No. HC1, the 'C' signifying coil sprung rear suspension)
and perhaps only two tourers and three dropheads (including HL1).
The remainder were 4-door saloons like the above photo.


H-type drophead no. H5 owned by Marcus Garbe and photographed ca. 1991.
