The Appeal
The Shooting Brake variant of the Jensen-Healey. You don't really need much more of a sales pitch for the magnificent Jensen GT. Effortlessly cool and classy, it offered a superior level of refinement and the most advanced of the somewhat troublesome roadster's formula.
Many believe that if the economy had been better and Jensen had have been able to open a few more wallets, the GT could have provided salvation for the ailing West Brom firm. Sadly, it wasn't to be, and the GT is now an exceptionally rare, highly desirable piece of the world that might have been - and is far more obscure than it deserves to be.
Only 61 of these cars are known to remain, and this fine 1975 example is ready and waiting to whisk you away in style. Well-maintained and with plenty of work recently carried out, it's a rare groove that we're sure will grab your attention.
