Here's a Black Prince for sale. Although Jensen made the bodies for some of the dropheads I don't think they made this one.

Another Jensen connection is the engine. Double overhead camshaft six-cylinder Meadows. The Jensen PW was to have a straight eight Meadows which maybe would have looked a bit like this. How that would have changed Jensen's destiny - maybe no Austin connection at all ..... !

OK, so the engine is a tenuous connection, but no more so than Donald Healey driving an Invicta S type!

My French is not perfect but as far as I can see in the description there is no mention of the coachbuilder but it does claim the car is in original condition!

Hi, My French is better and I can confirm there is no mention of the coachbuilder but I can ask if you are interested.

That's chassis 105. Jensen built chassis 112, 113, 114 and 117. They are all accounted for.
