Jensen FF

[motec 6.9]

Hi guys this is at the upcoming Shannons Auction in sunny Melbourne it was the 1st car in the world with AWD non all terain and ABS. It cost 30% more than a standard Interceptor and Jensen lost money on everyone. It is credited with killing Jensen as a company with complexity and repairs. http://www.shannons.com.au/pages/auctions/lot.jsp?id=S69FQHDLDM52QC2 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen_FF

Same Auction there are two Mercedes up for Auction as well.

The 220SE Convertible looks very impressive!

Hi Michel my point in posting about the Jensen FF only 320 made. The visual difference is easy to spot. 2 guard vents as opposed to 1 guard vent on standard Interceptor. plus front guards are 5 inchs longer and being the first year off production makes it more desirable .

Hi Michel i owned a Jensen Mk11 Interceptor in the 90's .It was a JP model which means 440 fitted with 6 pack induction. I allways wanted an FF came close to buying 1 from a dealer in Adeliade in 2002. As for the SP it was fun lost in a seperation but strangly i have only stopped recieving unsavoury threats from the person i sold it to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jensen_Interceptor . And yes even less SP were made than FF

what kind of threats?

 

[Tony66_au]

Id assume the usual buyers remorse threats?

I've been there before lol

Usually bogans why buy a nice car only to find that despite the endless stream of information and cautionary tales they still treat their new toy badly and get bitten in the wallet.

Hi Michel & Tony at the time i had no choice but to sell . The person i sold the jensen to turned out to be someone that would be good for 1 of the enforcer adds about car abuse. Killed the trans 2 weeks after buying the car so it was my fault didnt matter that the trans and engine had reciepts for being rebuilt. Only 2 years earlier then after having a new trans fitted the engine let go so more abuse told him some home truths . So random emails from the person for many years strait to trash bin. Tony will see the funny side what kind of moron can kill a allmost new 727 trans then a 440 chrysler big block
