2 RARE Jensens with Rob Wolfe from American Pickers!!

designer and lived in England all her life until, I think, until she was 62 years old. and then her husband inherited a farm and they moved back to the United States. Well she brought these Jensens with her, she always drove Jensen's forever, so they were brought here from the UK in the '60s, yeah, yeah, and thank God because the chassis would be terrible if they've been there all this time, oh I can't even imagine it, so the 541r that was her husband's, he died, he was 82 years old, he died and then this was her personal car that she drove, she actually had one like in and I know you know, uh Interceptor convertible, that's what it was called, sure, yeah, so she had one of those in a convertible that she drove all over England, so that's how I looked closely at the photos.

Not really, yeah, so I was under impression that it's a 541 but it's 541r yeah, okay, yeah, and supposedly that's what they told me that maybe you can. They just told me there are like four of these in the United States. I would believe it because I only made 193 of them if it's an R, yeah. and it's a real R. I got all the paperwork you know, this is what was built in '54. This was the fastest production car, it ran 129 miles an hour with the back seat, that was the big claim to the fame that they could put four people in it and it has the original interior, so you know more about this than expected, well, you know what I'm just going to tell you what you're asking for before we go on talking about it, yeah , I won't even argue with you, so what else is there?

The incredible thing about these cars is that they were actually as fast, if not faster, than those from Aston Martin. Oh, actually yeah, in case So this body is fiberglass, as you know, but the doors are aluminum, yeah, yeah, what else is good about the 541 arms or the early cars, so the R has four of these brakes? Oh, in every way, that's a big deal for the '50s, the other one. The things of the day are six cylinders, it's a four speed car, so it's a four liter six cylinder, it's got three, three, I heard four carburetors, but three is what I see there, someone told me there's a fourth down there. , the correct caliber is everything look. right, yes, have you put the hood on?

Yes, oh yes, this is a pleasant surprise. I was thinking this is a 541. That's impressive, so just so you know. I don't want to put it crudely, but it's done somewhat crudely, I mean. Well, the first Corvettes are also manned, oh I know if they will be completed, but supposedly my opinion was better. If I had gone to buy a car in 5354, it would have been this instead of a Corvette if you look at the chassis of the car in the past. Be like an Arnold Bristol, yes, or even an Oscar or Maserati, yes, AC Ace.

I mean, this is what the chassis looks like, oh yeah, yeah. I can imagine this thing getting up and running. I mean, it's crazy, your original data tags on the firewall. No, yeah, anyway, the lady who owned this, if you do a little research on her, was a famous designer and was in Vogue magazine probably a couple hundred times. Wow, you know, fiery redhead, I mean, she looked like she was from Ireland. uh she uh we'll definitely see her oh yeah definitely a Spitfire so you know this thing is sick because it's fiberglass and it's got a 383 okay so this is kind of this is a later cv8 right ?

The previous cbas had 361 okay so this is what yours is 664. 64. Yeah and you can see the CV8 right here which gives it away yeah um but you're right 383 four barrel now what would be incredibly weird this is a four speed but I'm sure it's an automatic no it's not an automatic so before there were only a handful of these speeds now they made more of these it was a couple hundred Of these, almost 500 of these were made, but this is a fast car. Well, yeah, it's a 3-3, so it looked to me like it was solid fiberglass on all sides.

When I opened the engine I was looking and wondering what the heck they did to this thing so here are some of the most impressive stats I know it's faster than the Aston Martin DB5 yes and the 0 to 60 time was exactly the same as a Lamborghini in Europe and they were the money, yeah, they were still pretty expensive now that they weren't Lamborghini money, but uh. no, that's a serious car, so 383 torquey four cylinders use these engines in the super commandos, so I haven't seen one of these in Forever, this is also full of this Bright Car, look at the size of the radiator, Honestly, my goodness.

The number one reason I called you is that I don't have the damn knowledge or time to do this and it needs to be done, that's one of the reasons I thought, "If anyone can do this, guys." I can because that one over there deserves both of them to do well, I love this, but I love that more just for the back, yeah, yeah this car has tons of power, oh I know, yeah, I can't even. Imagine really cool, yeah, just think about going, you know, these were four-seat cars, they called them grand Tours, yeah, some people didn't really consume those sports cars, they were definitely sports cars, how can you not call that a car? sports?

I think so because they had a back seat but you're talking about running mirrors Lamborghini Aston Martin db5s Jaguar xks yeah this one beat the xk in the quarter mile that's a serious car back then this car ran 100 almost 140 miles per hour in 1964. yeah that's a fast car Yeah wow these are cool they're beyond cool dude that's them I also have all the hubcaps the Jensen hubcaps that go there I don't know if that one door is open or not, that's really cool, Jensen. Toner club, yeah the file I have on these she has everything that was done to them just a huge stack of paperwork that came with them the badge emblems are so misleading everything me and I all have too the hubcaps.

I think it's this one or this one I think there are four hubcaps but I think they went on this one I'm pretty sure they went to those there's fun oh well there are the bumpers okay those are the two bumpers that are the half bumpers or whatever you call them They They went around like this very crazy, let's do it this way, yes, right here, look it's almost restored. I can't wait to see them made for real. I can't, I can't wait to see these things done, man. It's going to be incredibly, you know, I don't know, I'll be the guy that tackles it, but there's certainly someone, there are guys out there that will, oh yeah, these are super cool again 541, that's really cool.

I'm overlooking it's a big improvement from the 541 wow that's still a good carbon that's 127 miles per hour vs 107 miles per hour big difference huge dick big difference love you guys yeah thanks for waiting for me. I appreciate you, Zack, I totally forgot something, and while you're at it? filming the footage on the posters and the Jensens I found a black Mustang Fastback on the corner Rob didn't tell me anything about it. I went in and asked how much it was and of course we bought it now that we are on Our way back to Wiley always please share, follow and most importantly subscribe to our YouTube channel.

See you next week.
