© ALL IMAGES COPYRIGHT THE JENSEN FF MUSEUM & ARCHIVE When
you feel your years of Jensen FF custodianship have come to an end, THE CARS ARE SHOWN IN CHASSIS NUMBER ORDER SO MAKE SURE TO SCROLL DOWN "I
look forward to hearing from anyone with a Jensen FF car for sale."
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.
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. CHASSIS NUMBER: 127/218 REGISTRATION NUMBER: TOF 680H Finished in metallic blue with beige leather trim, this MK.II FF survives in overall excellent condition. The car has had a full retrim which was undertaken in the late 1980s, and some bodywork renovation, which took place in the late 1990s. 127/218 has had some subtle modifications to MK.III look, including the four vent dashboard and centre console, along with Jensen MK.III alloys. Other recent work includes the brakes, which is now on full copper brake piping throughout, an engine overhaul, and a full stainless steel exhaust system. 127/218 is now ready for final recommissioning for road use. Update: After being sold, 127/218 remained in the UK, where it joined a small classic car collection.
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.

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: 119/090 REGISTRATION NUMBER: WLP 21G 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.
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: 119/059 REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCJ 300G PRICE: SOLD 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.

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. |
