The three volumes, which make up THE JENSEN FF - 320 SHORT STORIES are the product of over 15 years research. The fine leather bound volumes detail the spirit of a vibrant era, and the distinctive qualities, which made the Jensen FF aspirational and unique. Supported by a wealth of photographs and engaging copy, the appeal of the 320 SHORT STORIES - one story for each car, extends far beyond that of the classic car enthusiast.

Each volume includes between 550 - 650 pages, printed on fine art paper, with period, black & white, and colour photographs to compliment the text. Representing the pinnacle of the bookbinders' art, the royal blue, hand tooled first quality leather bindings, are blocked with the name of the Master Binder, Brian Settle. A traditional silk page marker ribbon completes the book.

The book may be ordered with an issue number to correspond with a chosen Jensen FF chassis, or with any number between 001 and 328, which were allocated to FF cars by Jensen Motors. For preservation, the book is stored within its own heavy duty archival slipcase.

THE JENSEN FF - 320 SHORT STORIES is a strictly limited edition of 320 copies per volume. Limited edition books are often later re-printed for the mass market. To protect the investment made in the 320 SHORT STORIES, a mass market edition will never be published.

MICHAEL COOPER'S JENSEN DAYS
A PHOTOGRAPHIC HISTORY OF JENSEN MOTORS 1966 - 1976
By Ulric Woodhams
ISBN 1 905142 08 0
Foreword by Gethin Bradley, former Deputy Chairman of Good Relations Ltd

Price: £69.95 (standard hardbound version) + post/packing

Few Jensen enthusiasts realised that the man behind most of the images relating to Jensen Motors, during the company's last, and undoubtedly most exciting decade, was motoring photographer, Michael Cooper. After acquiring Michael Cooper's archive of Jensen related images during 2005, Ulric Woodhams decided to publish the best images which told the story of Jensen Motors between 1966 - 1976. With excellent historical detail to the captions, the reader can witness the exciting, but turbulent, decade of Jensen Motors with these glorious images captured by Michael Cooper. Approx 190 pages with over 200 photographs.

An old friend of Michael Cooper, Anthony Hussey (former director of Connolly Leather Ltd), had this to say about the book, "What a nostalgic time I've had leafing my way steadily through the splendid 'Michael Cooper's Jensen Days'. Every page is a delight, and it is the most beautifully produced book that I have had the pleasure of viewing in a long time."

THE JENSEN HEALEY STORIES

* SPECIAL LEATHERBOUND LIMITED EDITION OF 100 COPIES*

ISBN 0 900549 21 1


Originally published in 1974 while Jensen Motors was still in operation, The Jensen Healey Stories is a must for the bookshelf of anyone interested in this car company. Having been out of print for in excess of 20 years, we have acquired 100 of this title, which we have had beautifully hand-bound. Covered in tan pigskin, the cover sports fine deeply embossed matt aluminium foil blocking with two raised bands to the spine. The page ends are matt aluminium gilted and the book has fine sepia printed endpapers using an original Michael Cooper image. The finished book bears its unique limited edition number page (between 1 - 100) and a tan silk ribbon marker allows the reader to mark the page they are reading.  Supplied within a tan linen archival slip case bearing the Jensen Motors logo.

Price: £275 + post/packing

GINGER BAKER - HELLRAISER

* EXTREMELY RARE HAND-SIGNED HARDBOUND EDITION*


Originally published in 2009, this hardbound edition quickly went out of print and was superceded by the softbound edition. The book chronicles the career of Peter 'Ginger' Baker and consists of 292 pages. This particular edition is one of a few copies hand-signed by 'Ginger' Baker in 2009 when the book was launched, and given to members of the publishing house which published the book. The book is in near mint condition, complete with dust jacket, and will be sold with a letter of provenance. What a wonderful gift for someone special !
'Ginger' Baker owned no less than three Jensen FF cars. His FF exploits are renouned and could probably fill a book on their own. Baker attempted to drive his second FF, 119/099, across Africa, but found himself careering off the edge of a mountain. Only a tree half way down stopped Baker from probable death. Although the car was recovered by Jensen Motors and brought back to West Bromwich, it was beyond repair, much to the grief of Baker.
