Produced between 1966 and 1971. the Jensen FF was the
first non all-terrain production car equipped with four-wheel drive
and an anti-lock braking system. the Dunlop Maxaret mechanical
system. used hitherto only on aircraft. trucks. and racing
cars.

The use of four-wheel drive in a passenger car preceded the
successful Audi Quattro & Subaru by many years. The letters FF
stand for Ferguson Formula after Ferguson Research Limited who
invented the car's system. The FF is related to the
similar-looking. rear-wheel drive Jensen Interceptor but is five
inches longer and mechanically very different. The FF can be
distinguished from the Interceptor by a few styling cues; the most
obvious being the twin (rather than single) diagonal air vents on
the front wing just rear of the wheel-arches.

Originally registered on 25th August 1969. this
Jensen FF is one of only 198 examples ever manufactured. The first
owner kept MMA 40H for 31 years and she has only had five owners in
total. In the last three years. the car has benefitted from the
brakes and suspension being overhauled. radiator re-cored. new
water pump and a new Edelbrock 600 carburettor. the under-bonnet
area presents superbly well. The interior has had new carpets
and underlay and the front seats have been rebuilt with new leather
facings fitted. The underside of the car is unmarked and overall
this is a splendid example and one to be enjoyed immediately. The
car is supplied with a V5C registration document. an MoT test
certificate valid until 12th February 2017 and a
substantial history folder.
