1971 JENSEN FF COUPE


1971 Jensen FF Coupe
Reg. no. KUJ 95J
Chassis no. t.b.a.
Engine no. t.b.a.
The Jensen FF when it appeared in 1966 was a revelation, being the first non-all terrain vehicle to use four-wheel drive. In addition it was also fitted with the innovative anti-lock braking system, the like of which had only been seen before on aircraft, lorries and racing cars. All in all, this was a very progressive car, of which there were only 320 produced. 
The FF stood for Ferguson Formula, after Ferguson Research Ltd who invented the car\'s four-wheel drive system. Although the FF closely resembles the standard Jensen Interceptor, it is 5\" longer and mechanically very different. 
The owner of this FF purchased it in its current condition some years ago; the previous owner had carried out a great deal of body restoration including new panels where necessary. An Alfa Romeo turquoise colour was chosen as a personal choice and the result is eye catching. We understand that at the time the mechanicals of the car all seemed good and so were left, born out when the car was recently started and driven. Having driven the car ourselves, we feel that some recommissioning is required following a period of no use and dry storage. 
KUJ 95J is a well known car in Jensen circles, and we are told that it has a known history. The first owners were GKN, an automotive industry company, and it is believed that they owned the car as a test car for them to analyse the four-wheel-drive system. The car had minor damage with them and then had a major crash, both times being returned to the factory for repair. 
This very stylish FF would benefit from some cosmetic improvements, although generally it presents very well and could easily be used and enjoyed as is, following some minor recommissioning work. It is offered with a V5c.

Extra details and estimates:

£70,000 - 80,000

1923 DURANT RUNABOUT STAR FOUR
Registration No:BF 4881
Chassis No: 28165
Estimate: £18,000 - £23,000


Having been forced out of General Motors – a company he founded – William C Durant began rebuilding his automotive empire, incorporating Durant Motors in New York in January 1921. Competing with the mid-priced Chevrolet, the company's first product was the 35hp four-cylinder Model A, which was joined the following year by the 70hp six-cylinder B-22. Built in the former Sheridan plant at Muncie, Indiana and powered by an Ansted engine, the B-22 was catalogued for just three years (1922-1924) and today survivors are rare. In 1922, Durant introduced the Star, intended as competition for the Ford Model T, and later that year acquired the bankrupt Locomobile, which gained him entry into the luxury car market sector. Following the General Motors policy of offering cars in every price bracket, Durant continued to expand, introducing the Chrysler-competitor Flint in 1923 and establishing the Mason Truck Company. Like many of his contemporaries, Durant was crippled by the Wall Street Crash of October 1929. Production plummeted and despite receiving approximately $90 million of its owner's own money, Durant Motors was gone by 1933.
This Durant Runabout has had an interesting life having been converted to a pick-up at some stage; she was then re-bodied into the Tourer format we see today. This right-hand drive Durant has VSCC documents and is eligible for hills climbs which the vendor has used her for. These two-seaters with a Dickie seat are great cars and quite versatile, hence the popularity in using them for eligible events. We are advised by the vendor she runs well with no known faults and is supplied with a V5C registration document.

1973 TRIUMPH BONNEVILLE 750
Registration No:
Chassis No:T140V GJ55915
Engine No: T140V GJ55915
Estimate: £4,500 - £6,000
There are few classic motorcycles that are more stylish, better known or more enjoyable to ride than a Triumph Bonneville. While the late 60’s Bonnies now come with very large price tags attached, the later T140 machines still remain relatively affordable for the time being.
This Triumph Bonneville is in the process of being registered by the vendor, a process we hope will be completed by the date of the auction. This is a matching numbers motorcycle and showing only 11,200 miles on the odometer, although we have no paperwork to confirm whether this is correct. These stylish machines from the 70s are highly sought after and this 750 twin is expected to create interest.
