An interesting car. According to the Jensen Genome this was chassis no. 1110/13910 originally LHD and yellow with Jensen-Healey dashboard, first registered December 1974, but was then converted by the factor to RHD and painted red with black vinyl roof. It apparently survived until 1999 which was probably not long after this article although I can't quite see the year!

The picture is interesting, it has early wheels but late front wings and light buckets. Although the wings etc are a common retrofit on restoring mk1’s without much modification, the late bumpers would have been difficult to fit surely?
16 valves but 4 extra pistons.
