• Car number '8' of only 12 built
• Restored in Sweden to a high standard
• Offered from a private collection
• Substantial history file

Delivered new to Morgan Duff of Norfolk, this Vignale-bodied Jensen FF is one of only eight remaining cars out of 12 prototypes built at the company's factory in Italy. A true collector's piece, it represents a unique opportunity to purchase Vignale FF which is matching numbers, which is in its original colour combination and coupled with the unique Vignale details including number '8' factory stampings on many components. Its history has been confirmed by the Jensen FF Museum UK.

Ulric Woodhams' Jensen FF Museum has followed and supported a major restoration that was carried out in Sweden to a high standard at a cost of approximately £75,000. The original factory-supplied engine has been stripped and rebuilt, and its correct and original Carter carburettor overhauled. The brakes, suspension and automatic transmission have likewise been rebuilt. The bodyshell was treated to a bare-metal repaint in correct Mist Grey, and the interior re-trimmed in Vignale Steel Blue leather as per the original special order. The correct Rostyle wheels have been restored and new Avon Turbo Speed tyres fitted.

This FF enjoyed only two UK owners prior to being exported to Sweden where it had two further owners from 1988. The Jensen returned to the UK a couple of years ago and has been in a private collection ever since. The history file contains a copy of the original build sheet; an original workshop manual; old MoTs; newspaper articles; numerous bills/receipts; and correspondence from 1967 onwards. The car has been stored as part of our vendors private collection, and will receive a service and MoT pre-sale. Interested parties should note that the private registration number is being retained at the time of cataloguing and the car will be supplied with an age-related UK number plate with V5C.

Saleroom notices
