Jensen Book Review in The Automobile

[David Davies]

The Automobile magazine has reviewed Jensen: The Surviving 3 1/2 & 4 1/4 Litre Cars. Their review concludes:

'It all results in a happy blend of one-make history, potted owner biographies, back-on-the road-type restoration stories, background information, anecdote, hearsay. surmise and supposition. It's not all Jensen either: other makes from Alvis to Rolls-Royce, with Ford, of course, in between, get a look in. Such is the production quality that you mightn't guess this to be a self-published book and it is modestly priced. What's more, it has the endorsement of Richard Calver, the pre-eminent Jensen historian, who contributed the foreword'.

Copies of this limited edition book are currently available from the JOC Merchandise Shop.

I would completely agree with that review.

A fair review I agree

Thoroughly recommended. I'm wondering if I should get mine rebound as a hardback so I can read it more often!----

Thanks very much. A few more comments from my inbox:

'What a fantastic book and congratulations on the amount of research that has gone into its making' (nephew of a pre-war Jensen Motors Director)

'I think you have achieved a really top notch result. It reads well, looks good, is thoroughly comprehensive and researched, and it breaks plenty of new ground. It is also cheap to buy so good on you for making your gift to posterity' (Richard Calver)

'I have been thoroughly enjoying your book and can only admire the wonderful research you have done to produce it. I particularly enjoyed the White Lady story' (brother of a former Early Cars Registrar).

I am most grateful to all concerned. It was one of two books I wrote during lockdown mainly in short snatches while caring for a family member.
