Jensen S-Type Chassis S4
I'm sure that those of you who spent the Christmas holidays poring over their newly-acquired Jensen Genome will be burning to know what the early Jensen S-Type Saloon chassis S4 from 1936 registered COL 866 actually looked like! Well here''s the only known picture of it, taken around 1957 in Ipswich, I believe. First registered in November 1936, it was originally black with pigskin upholstery. It's not known to have survived and I don't know it's history but maybe someone else on the forum does?

A handsome car for sure.
My first thoughts were - what the hell with that strange roof antenna?!?! Then I saw the similar lamp post a bit further on

Re: Jensen S-Type Chassis S4
If only there was some way we could read more about these models...
Oh wait, David Davies has published "Jensen: The Surviving 3 1/2 & 4 1/4 Litre Cars" which is packed full of info and VERY readable too.

"Now that chassis number is particularly interesting ‘cos it’s the one after the one before, which is the one after mine, not many people know that"

David Davies has published "Jensen: The Surviving 3 1/2 & 4 1/4 Litre Cars" ... and its incredibly good value too! I hesitate to say cheap, but certainly value for money.
