Hello all, new member on this forum...so here's the scoop on my car.
In 1978 Jensen Sound Laboratories (they made audio speakers)
held The Jensen Jensen Sweepstakes, with the grand prize being a new 1975 Jensen Healey equipped with a complete "out-standing speaker system from Jensen". The car was delivered to the winner in Torrance, California with 275 miles from the dealer, Continental Motors from La Grange, Illinois. The lucky lady drove the car only 534 miles before storing it in her garage. The car sat undisturbed from 1980-2014. Owners son decided to commission the car, eventually bringing the car to a reputable British car repair shop in San Pedro Ca.
After a complete and thorough commissioning,(obtaining all supplies from Delta Motorsports) the car was listed for sale.
All original paperwork was included with the car, documenting milage etc. I even have the original magazine that advertised the sweepstakes. Yes this is a garage queen, started monthly but rarely driven, it keeps good company with my Lotus Car collection.
