Well done, Mike...!!!   It's a great piece of history and great that they got it from the museum.


Nick is a pretty interesting fellow too. He is a retired Formula 1 race car engineer.
Thanks Gil, now I can use some of your vast Jensen knowledge to clean it up a little while preserving it's patina  :)

Maxwell,

Very cool it's from a museum. I vaguely remember Jensen engines used during the war. Is that the connection the museum portrayed?

Jensen made engines for the war effort as pumps. There were no boilers or wood bases.
