THE FFF 100
No I do not have this car for sale, but I would be very interested
in hearing from anyone with information concerning its present
whereabouts, or to hear about any history of this car after it had
completed its work for GKN. It would be wonderful to have the opportunity to add this historic car to the museum collection.

CHASSIS NUMBER 130/327
PRICE: SOLD
One of just 15 MK.III FFs made, 130/327 was imported into the USA
during the later 1970s. The car was purchased by the well known American
Jensen enthusiast Mike Lotwis in the middle 1980s who had the car
shipped over to Jensen Parts & Service for a full restoration. The
car has remained within his ownership from that time and is now being
offered for sale. The car can be viewed in New Jersey, USA.
Update: After being sold, 130/327 remained in the USA and joined a collection of other Jensen cars.

CHASSIS NUMBER: 127/212 REGISTRATION NUMBER: BLF 80H
PRICE: SOLD
Finished in metallic grey with beige leather trim as original, this
MK.II FF survives in excellent condition. Having had just three wealthy
owners from new, the car has always been well maintained and has covered
just over 40,000 miles from new. It is currently with MOT and tax
exemption disc, and has had a stainless steel exhaust system fitted
along with new discs etc. The car has been recently serviced and drives
nicely, the four-wheel-drive system seems particually well set up on
this car. The history file for the car includes copies of the chassis
file, along with every MOT from new, and every road tax disc from new.
Update: After being sold, 127/212 was shipped out to the USA where it joined a collection of classic cars and its new enthusiastic owner.

CHASSIS NUMBER: 127/202 REGISTRATION NUMBER: XEA 304H 1970 MOTOR SHOW CAR
PRICE: £12,750
127/202 is without doubt the most significant unrestored MK.II Jensen FF available today. The car achieved celebrity status when used as the 1970 Motor Show car, and was also the subject of an indepth article by Motor magazine. The possibility remains to restore this car to completely original specification, since its full olive leather interior survives in excellent condition. Work to the chassis and chassis tubes has previously been undertaken by Jensen specialist Tom Scullane back in the late 1980s and the engine was rebuilt. Work stopped due to the owner's ill health, and the car remained in dry storage. The engine and four-wheel-drive transmission are presently out of the vehicle, and the engine bay has been restored to original specification. Body restoration is still required, which would include (typically) rear valence, rear arches, bottoms of front wings and front valence. The original steel bonnet remains with the car, which is in good restorable condition. An exciting project !

CHASSIS NUMBER: 119/193 REGISTRATION: CWB 33H
PRICE: SOLD
Finished in blue metallic with a unique blue leather interior. The interior is completely original and has been sympathetically restored back to original condition, with black wilton carpets trimmed in matching blue leather (the same as the trim). The car still retains its original equipment Blaupunkt Cologne radio, along with the Voxson '8' track / radio set. The bodywork was completely renovated during the 1990s, and remains rust free today. Mechanically a huge amount of work has been undertaken to recommission 119/193 for the road, including a full transmission and brake overhaul.
Update: After being sold, 119/193 was transported to Germany where it joined a collection of no less than 21 classic cars, including three other Jensen cars.

CHASSIS NUMBER: 119/184
PRICE: SOLD
119/184 is painted in
its original moorland peat colour with a retrimmed beige leather
interior. The car was restored bodily in 1992 and has been well
maintained by its current owner. The car drives well and has been used
on a regular basis by its owner.
Update: After being sold, 119/184 remained in Southern Ireland.

CHASSIS NUMBER 119/140 REGISTRATION NUMBER SNW 45G
PRICE: £2750
119/140 is for sale presently requiring complete restoration of the
bodywork. Jensen Owners' Club member Joe Morrow purchased the car in
1989, and used the car daily between 1989 and 1990, after which the car
was started occasionally and remained garaged, awaiting restoration work
when Morrow retired. By 2004 Morrow became concerned about the extent of
rusting, and realising the work required would be far beyond his
capabilities, sold the car to Paul Banham Conversions. Once in Banham's
ownership, the car was placed in an industrial unit and left. By 2007,
Banham's circumstances had changed, and realising he would not restore
the car, a decision was made to dismantle the car for parts. We were
contacted by Banham, asking if we would be interested to buy any of the
parts, an agreement was made to purchase the entire car hopefully saving
it for someone who will be willing to restore it. Rust has taken over
everywhere, even the roof has rusted, caused initially through a leaking
Webasto sunroof. So basically the car will only suit someone who wishes
to start fresh and largely repanel the car. On a plus point, all the
four-wheel-drive system and mechanicals are still present, and Morrow
stated the car drove very well, up to 2004 when he sold it. Presently the engine is capable of firing up and is very healthy, and the car can move forwards and backwards.

CHASSIS NUMBER: 119/102 REGISTRATION NUMBER: TAX 664G
PRICE: £32,500
Arguably the best colour combination ever to leave the Jensen factory, 119/102 is still sporting its original colour scheme of crystal blue with beige trim. The car has resided in Wales from new, falling into disrepair by the late 1970s/early 1980s. Acquired by a Jensen Owners' Club member, the car was subjected to a slow restoration including a full rebuild of the engine and braking system (including all copper brake pipes throughout) and work to the body and chassis. 119/102 was sold in 1999, the new owner continuing work, which included respraying the car back to its original crystal blue. Today 119/102 is beautifully finished off with an immaculate and very original interior and a close to concours prepared engine bay. Since completion of this long drawn out restoration, 119/102 was successfully MOT'd in March 2008.

CHASSIS NUMBER: 119/090 REGISTRATION NUMBER: WLP 21G
PRICE: SOLD
119/090 is for sale to a buyer wishing to undertake colour choice and
final finishing themselves. The car has been the subject of body
restoration work, which means the car is generally rust free, with all
the major areas of rusting having been replaced . Work has included all
chassis repairs, including main chassis tubes, and also new outer sills.
The body is currently painted in primer. Interior is complete and in
very good condition, even the original Jensen '8' track/radio is still
present. Most of the electrics are working, and the car starts up and
idles well.

CHASSIS NUMBER 119/085 REGISTRATION NUMBER PKO 300G
PRICE: SOLD
119/085 is for sale presently requiring restoration of the bodywork.
Work definately required will be lower panelwork all the way around.
Front wheel arches are free from rust as indeed (and more importantly)
is the bonnet. The car was used on the road up until the middle to late
1990s, but has not been used since that time. Much work and detailing
had been undertaken to the engine bay which is still clean and tidy.
119/085 starts and runs, can move backwards and forwards and brakes
work.

CHASSIS NUMBER 119/076 REGISTRATION NUMBER: PDF 850G
SOLD COMPLETE WITH A MK.I INTERCEPTOR
PRICE: £3,650
119/076 is requiring total restoration. The car is generally
complete and retains it original rusty (but repairable) bonnet. The
front wings have been removed from the car along with the front section,
however, one of the wings and the front section are still with the car.
The current owner has sourced a MK.I Interceptor with black interior,
dating from almost the same month of manufacture as the FF. This car is
complete but rusty, and can be sold together with the FF as a donor car.
If the Interceptor isn't required then obviously the owner is happy to
re-negotiate the price. The FF has been in dry storage for almost twenty
years.

CHASSIS NUMBER: 119/059 REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCJ 300G
PRICE: £27,500
Originally mist grey with black interior, 119/059 was restored bodily and resprayed red during the early 1980s. Successive owners have looked after the car and used it on a regular (but not excessive) basis. This regular maintenance has continued to the present day, which means recommissioning is not required. A large history file has been maintained for 119/059 and previous MOT certificates dating back to the late 1980s are also present.119/059 appeared in the October 2005 edition of Classics Monthly, and was also used as the front cover image of Jensen Interceptor Ultimate Portfolio 1966 - 1992.

CHASSIS NUMBER: 119/022 REGISTRATION NUMBER: BTU 16F
PRICE: £27,500
Still retaining its original colour scheme of crystal blue with dark blue leather trim, 119/022 has an excellent pedigree from new. The car was ordered in 1967 by Lieutenant Colonel Richard Seifert, the famous 1960s architect (the company is still run by his son). After disposal in the early 1980s the next owner was a 'turnaround' man for a brewery. In 1987, 119/022 was put into auction and purchased by the newspaper magnate, Eddie Shah. The car was kept within Shah's collection until 1990, when he was forced to sell the collection via Sothebys auction house. The new owner was an Aston Martin collector, who had a boyhood dream to own a Jensen FF. From 1990 until recently, the FF shared room with this leading collection of Aston Martin cars. 119/022 has been well maintained throughout the decades, and this shows through in the general condition of the car today. It is not concours, but has survived in extremely good order. The body is rust free and the interior is original with a good patina. The car drives very well and is complete with MOT.

1948 HARRY FERGUSON TRACTOR
CHASSIS NUMBER: TEA 60417, REGISTRATION NUMBER: GUN 826
PRICE: £475
This would make an excellent stablemate with your Jensen FF, an original Harry Ferguson tractor ( and a very useful addition to, if you have land). This example requires restoration, although this process is made easy since everything is readily available, and at very realistic prices. All the metal work is in good condition, including the main hood.

The Mercedes-Benz 500 SL Lyon Press Car 1989
Price: In exchange for an interesting Jensen FF
This is without doubt the most important W129 500 SL outside of the Daimler Museum, Stuttgart. Manufactured in 1989, this example was one of two 500 SLs,
produced as prototypes in 1989 and made available for the Lyon Press
Launch of the W129 model. The press day came to an exciting end when two
motoring journalists were driving the 500 SLs with the convertible roofs
down. By complete accident, one journalist misjudged the road, causing
the car to flip over and crash. Luckily for the journalist, the brand
new latest technology roll bar sprang up in the required nano second,
allowing the journalist to survive his ordeal. The wrecked car was
transported back to Mercedes-Benz, and it is unknown what has happened
to that car since. The other car was used for the Paris Motor Show, and afterwards was shipped over to the UK where it was
used for marketing purposes. Mercedes-Benz disposed of the car in 1990.
The car has been maintained in concours condition and has completed less than
60,000 miles from new with full service history. The car, finished in
its original blue/black paint with mushroom leather, comes complete with a
large amount of paperwork.
