TRAGIC END TO AN IMPRESSIVE BARN FIND
The story of 119/002, registration number 'JEA 4D' is a tragic one. Back in 1981, the car was going to be scrapped, since the farmer who owned the land the car had been left on, had gained permission to develop the site. Acquired by Ulric Woodhams, 119/002 was later sold on for restoration. The next owner gave up on the project, as indeed did subsequent owners, meanwhile many parts of the car were lost or stolen. The original engine, was lost, as was most of the interior, which was apparently stolen. The current whereabouts of the original chassis is not known, and it is possible this was destroyed in the early 1990s, by an owner who was trying to switch the identity of 119/002 over to another FF in better condition. THE JENSEN FF MUSEUM & ARCHIVE has undertaken to acquire any surviving parts from 119/002, and has had some success already. If you know the whereabouts of any original parts which came from 119/002, then please contact us, as we would be very keen to add them to the collection. Who knows, may be one day it would be considered worthwhile to build an FF using all the original parts from 119/002 gathered by us ! If a suitably wealthy Jensenthropic individual is interested in pursuing such an idea, then let us know !

PUBLICITY WORK
1968 and chassis number 119/018 positioned in a small Surrey hamlet, around the corner from photographer Michael Cooper's home. Michael Cooper was always keen to run photo shoots near to his home, and Good Relations were generally agreeable to bringing cars over to him. As far as we know this image was never actually used in any publicity brochures. Original image from our archive, and apart of the Michael Cooper photographic collection.

119/018 went out to the USA, and current knowledge of the car's whereabouts and condition remain unknown. If anyone has any up-to-date information, please let us know.

THE SKI-SLOPE STAR

Jensen FF chassis number 119/025 photographed in Switzerland 1968

Motoring journalist Michael Scarlett at the steering wheel. In a fit of bravado, Scarlett decided to drive this FF up a ski-slope. Unaided and with basic crossply tyres, 119/025 drove up the ski-slope without fuss; much to the surprise of skiers.
Original photograph held within our archive.

The car fell into total disrepair by the 1980s, and an unfortunate attempt at restoring the car left it completely disassembled by the middle 1990s. 119/025 was acquired by THE JENSEN FF MUSEUM & ARCHIVE and is presently undergoing a sympathetic restoration.
