PARTICULARLY WANTED   Jensen FF 1/43 scale white metal model by Enco Price: £79.95 + post/packing Manufactured by the firm Enco during the 1980s, we have just purchased the remaining unmade Jensen FF kits. Undoubtedly the most accurate and best quality model of the Jensen FF manufactured so far, the Enco Jensen FF is scarce to find in the market place. Still complete in original factory sealed packaging, mint condition.   Original Politoys Jensen FF number 573 complete with original 'export' issue box - First issue Price: £175 + p/p The first model Jensen FF, brought to the market before the Dinky Jensen FF model 188. Initially produced for Politoys' home market (Italy) and then made apart of their export range. The model survives in mint condition and is complete with its ultra-rare 'Export Version' cardboard box with garage artwork to the inside. The box is complete but has a small split (nothing missing) to the see through panel and a circular mark where a price sticker was originally placed. Extremely rare.  Original Politoys Jensen FF number 573 - first issue - scarce red version Price: £45 + p/p The first model Jensen FF, brought to the market before the Dinky Jensen FF model 188. Initially produced for Politoys' home market (Italy) and then made apart of their export range. Most of the model 573 production were completed in silver, however, some were finished in solid red and a few were finished with a metallic red paint. This example is finished in solid red paint, which survives in very good to excellent condition. The rear perspex has a crack to it, hence the low price.   Original Dinky Toy Jensen FF number 188 complete with undertray and clear plastic top - First issue Price: £85 + p/p At the beginning of production, the 188 Jensen FF was supplied in good quality long lasting packaging, with a solid clear plastic moulding over the top of the model. The base had provision to hold the model in place and was made from card over a plastic underbody. This particular model has the 'MTB 21G' registration numbers and has survived in pristine condition. The packaging has also survived in perfect condition. Faultless in all respects.  
Original Dinky Toy Jensen FF number 188 complete with undertray and clear plastic top - First issue Price: SOLD At the beginning of production, the 188 Jensen FF was supplied in good quality long lasting packaging, with a solid clear plastic moulding over the top of the model. The base had provision to hold the model in place and was made from card over a plastic underbody. This particular model has the 'MTB 21G' registration numbers and has survived in pristine condition. The base card and plastic underbody is also perfect, however, the plastic top has a couple of splits.   Original Dinky Toy Jensen FF number 188 complete with undertray and clear plastic top - last version before production end Price: £45 + p/p By the end of production, the 188 Jensen FF was supplied in less glamourous packaging, with a thin clear plastic moulding over the top of the model. Other features which had changed included the side grilles which were now sprayed in black instead of silver, and the wheels which no longer had blackened inserts. Towards the end, certain spraying inconsistencies also took place, including the attached body components (doors/bonnet) in a darker yellow. This particular example includes all the end of production features. The model itself has survived in mint condition, and has the 'INJ 72M' registration numbers. Typically the moulded plastic top has some splits (but is still complete). The top also has two period price labels at £1.06 and £1.40.
