What an amazing piece of Jensen History that you now get to be the custodian for its further journey on into the future!!!

That ran GREAT ...... but of course, it is a Jensen, after all!!!

It's not finished.
 
However, I could not resist the temptation to steam it up!

Not my best camera work.

Enjoy!

Wow that's really a great score of unique engines I'm glad to see they fell into good hands and they will be Restored and displayed rather than somebody throwing them in the trash and lost forever!!!

Thank you!  As for restoring, a deep and thorough cleaning will apply to the 1940s #25G and I believe it is especially important to preserve the early #10 as is but cleaner since it is in such good original condition and will be a reference piece going forward.

It's something that I have always dreamt off - having the ability to turn on and off an accessory whilst the engine is running.
The pinnacle would be to have the clutch as a standalone unit between the engine and the accessories.

Here's a better vid of the P71 pump in action -

I think using the P90 gear reduction is a great idea by using it reversed to increase the rpm!!! It now becomes an overdrive!!!

One potential problem with using the reduction gearing in reverse "overdrive" if you will, is that it will definitely significantly increase the load on the engine when doing so!

  I had a Weeden #45 Dart that was ready to go but had an
uncooperative engine.  Very loosey-goosey.  Before I
did anything wrong and irreversible I sold it on ebay.
A man has to know his own limitations.

A very convincing demonstration you have provided us with here Jim!

I wonder if putting the Microcosm/Okmo gear reduction unit (P90) in line backwards for up-gearing with that Okmo pump (P71) might give you a bit more action there?
