1947 Jensen (JNSN) 6 Ton dropside EFU9

            Not to be confused with KDO874, which is another Jensen in the colours of Robert Crawford. 

This has a P6 Perkins Diesel engine (with a very distinctive whistle) and has been with the same owner for 60 years, 4 owners in total and believed to be the oldest surviving Jensen of its type, of which only 8 are believed to remain. 

Original paintwork throughout, 85000 miles, fitted with drawbar eye. I did read elsewhere online that this was bought new at the Earls Court Motor Show.  Seen here at the Essex Country Show, Barleylands 2015

In terms of suvivors, there are 2 Crawford Jensens (this one and KDO 874), the recent Walsh Bros restoration (now with Unity of Leicester), Ray Hortons (I think now with David Roberts-Malpas), a removal lorry in RGM,  the English Electric example (exported to Australia a few years ago) and one other (JKC445) in photo below which I have not seen since...so that makes 7 that I am aware of and now an 8th that Flickr member OAP217 has also provided info below on one currently under restoration (AFA17).  

The owner of EFU9 also has an Austin K6 (former Birmingham Airfield de-icing unit, HXA866)
