This is my latest addition to the collection. A 1977 Jensen 50 that still has it original box and shipping crate and paperwork. Very happy to have this in my collection.

A dream machine for certain and for sure!

Glad to see that one stayed here in the "family"!!

Congratulations on landing that beauty, with all its wonderful baggage!!!

Thanks everyone. I'm sure most of you heard about it or seen when it was up for sale and price was so high. After talking with the owner for a few weeks a price was finally settled on we both could live with so I bought it. Still wasn't cheap but how often does one like this come up for sale. Glad everyone likes seeing it.

That's one of my dream engines - glad you were able to obtain it for a more reasonable price.

Randy, that #50 with all the papers and crate is a fantastic addition to your collection.

Edit: It looks right at home in your big display case.

Congratulations and well done..!   Very well done...!!!!
