Untaxed since 1988 with no export marker according to DVLA. I wonder if this is the car allegedly placed in the care of a well know Jensen specialist to be restored, stored for 25+ years, but never started for a variety of reasons.....not least the demise of the owner and loss of contact until the long lost daughter turned up. Interested to see this one........

Hi all

I have this car as being offered for sale in 2008 and requiring restoration with an identical mileage, so looks like it has been untouched for 15 years - if it still requires restoration

Website now has some pictures showing the extent of the damage and rot. A massive amount of work to put this right unfortunately and I am not convinced the economic climate is such that anyone will be brave enough to undertake it!

Evidence that it has been butchered in the past is apparent from the rear end and the way that the boot lid rear edge does not line up with the rear panel.
