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.

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.
