This lot will be auctioned via Classic Car Auctions, The Practical Classics Classic Car and Restoration Show Sale 2024 on Saturday the 23rd of March - Sunday the 24th of March, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
One of only 327 FFs (Ferguson Formula) produced with less than 50 remaining in the UK
FF stood for Ferguson Formula, the four-wheel drive system developed by Harry Ferguson that split the torque unequally between the front and rear wheels resulting in sure-footed and excellent handling, especially for such a big GT
This, combined with Dunlop Maxaret anti-lock braking, another first, led pundits to call the FF the 'World's Safest Car'
#119/ 078 is well known in the Jensen community, having been featured in the The Jensen FF -320 Short Stories. Volume I
Originally delivered to Wilmslow Garage in 1968, this Mk I spent its early years on the road in Lancaster with a great history file up until 1972
By 1990, it was in poor condition and a restoration commenced, utilising parts from a donor car #119/ 169, however the project has now stalled
We are told (but can't confirm) that the car is complete and interested parties are invited to pursue that further through our consignor
A great opportunity to own a piece of British motoring history that, when finished, would make a fine addition to any collection featuring landmark classics
