Here is a brief excerpt taken from the auction description:

Styled by Carrozzeria Touring of Italy, it was handbuilt in the West Midlands between 1966 and 1976 from steel girders by men with proper names like Bob and Steve and George. Hell, even the rear axle was named after an English city that attracts Russian assassins like flies to honey.

Still not man enough for you? Aside from the sheer joy of a world in which we can buy a car with an engine called Golden Commando, we also joyfully point out the fact that Jenson offered a 7.2-litre/440cu/in V8 option, the so-called TNT engine for those of you for whom 383cu/in is too lily-livered.

Still not satisfied? How about the fact that the FF, or Ferguson Formula, was the first road-going four-wheel-drive production car in the world?

And the first to offer anti-lock brakes and traction control courtesy of the wonderfully named Dunlop Maxaret, a system so advanced it was modelled on that used on the English Electric Lightning, among others.

Yup, you could buy a Jensen with the braking system of a fighter plane.

Just 6,408 were built and the attrition rate was high, which means that survivors will inevitably have been treasured and restored.

Like this unique example.
