Now that would be an unusual addition to a Jensen stable. One of just 4 made.

I seem to remember that there is something very unusual and complicated about the original gearbox fitted to these cars. I will have to try and dig out the article from the automobile about 3 or so years ago.

The extracts from an on line article below relate to a similar chassis design with non Jensen coach work.

This car is written about in Richard Calver's All The Models book. Now has a Hudson three-speed conventional gearbox.
