Only 20 of the 47 examples manufactured were LHD. Very rare opportunity. Supplied new to the USA this is believed to be one of just 20 LHD Jensen ‘Coupes’ manufactured out of a total production of just 46 cars. At a cost of nearly £12,000 in 1976 it is perhaps not surprising that so few examples were produced. It returned to the UK in 2012 having been unused since the early 1980s and has been the subject of re-commissioning works. Finished in its original colour of Nevis Blue with beige hide interior and correct alloy wheels. Factory fitted air conditioning and other usual refinements to include the very rare boot-lid mounted tool kits. An excellent example of a very rare motorcar." - http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C537871 and http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/cars/jensen/5135699.jpg , http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/uploads/cars/jensen/5135697.jpg
