This vehicle has been in the ownership of Roger Dudding since the 1968
and holds fond memories for both him and his son Guy.
The vehicle was the subject of a major restoration in the earley 1990’s since
when it has been meticulasly maintaned as part of Roger’s collection with
outings being few and far between
Stealing the limelight at the 1966 London Motor Show was Jensen’s new
FF with its advanced Ferguson Formula, four-wheel drive and the DunlopMaxaret anti-lock braking system. The Torqueflite automatic gearbox was
fitted as standard to the FF which could be distinguished externally from
the Interceptor by JFF badging. The front of the car was three inches longer
with twin side ventilators each side and the grille and headlamp layout was
restyled. The FF was powered by the same torquey V8 Chrysler engine as
the Interceptor.
Although it was a highly influential vehicle in a technical sense, the FF was
not all that commercially successful. Its price was high — about 30% higher
than the Jensen Interceptor, and more than that of luxury GTs from much
more prestigious makes
