RUST IN PEACE, PART FIVE
(Did you see the sad cases in

Going back to nature. Looks like this is far from it's former beauty.

Sad looking car on ebay. Parts anyone!?

This one looks in a sorry state, but is hopefully being saved, and prepped
for paint.
A 1974 car in Neenah, Wisconsin, put on ebay.
More about the car here.
This is FF 210, pictured at Cropredy
Bridge Garage on 21 April 2001, picture taken by Jensen-guru Richard Calver.
He writes: "It's as rotten as they come - staying together by force of rust,
I suppose.
Nothing's impossible to fix - it just takes time and costs bucket-loads of
money. My pic."

Do you have a rotting
Jensen?
Have you seen a lost case?
Rot is just a side of owning a car. Sad but true.
Please let the world know!
Email us a picture or two.
Undoubtfully it's sad, but it's still a sign of the times, and a good
warning for others.
Jensens in the late lives is still worth to be remembered. Rust never sleeps...

bottom!)
Therefore - the moral is:
Let a enthusiast take care of the car before it comes beyond repair.
When you don't have the money to fix the car up anymore,
or you don't have
the courage or the heralth, hand the car over, sell it, save it!
NEVER let it rot so that these great cars wynd up as only a memory!
