Contrasting Jensens
« on: May 11, 2025, 12:29:53 pm »
Check out these pictures of a couple of Jensen engines I just bought off of Ebay last week . First is an old Jensen 35 . I have wanted one of these for a while, and luckily there were several to choose from . I think I got the best one of the bunch for the best price . As you can see it came with the original box and instruction sheet , and also runs very well . Next is an almost new Jensen 55G , in unfired condition . I watched it go no bid all week and made a last minute and , the only bid on it . When I first saw it , I thought to myself , well I certainly can't afford that beautiful thing , but I was the only bidder . Just good luck I guess ! As you can see in the pictures , it is no longer unfired .

I would simply say that you did EXCEPTIONALLY WELL on both of those iconic Jensen engines!

Some days you just get lucky, and it seems that you were very lucky with both of those buys!!

WELL DONE!!!
