Jensen is a distinctive chapter in British automotive history, a small coachbuilder-turned-manufacturer best known for hand-built grand tourers and bold engineering choices. The Interceptor became the marque's signature: a wide, luxurious GT powered by Chrysler V8s, notable for its sweeping wraparound rear window, sumptuous leather interiors and a chassis tuned for high-speed cruising rather than racetrack lap times. The smaller CV8 and later Jensen-Healey carried the same sporting ethos in different directions - the CV8 with big American V8 shove and the Jensen-Healey as a lightweight two-seater powered by a Lotus-sourced twin-cam engine - giving the brand an unusual range from brute-force cruisers to nimble sports cars cherished by enthusiasts.

Perhaps the most famous Jensen innovation was the FF (Ferguson Formula), one of the world's first production cars to feature full-time four-wheel drive and an anti-lock braking system, developed in collaboration with Ferguson Research and Dunlop; only around 320 FFs were built, making them rare and highly sought by collectors. Today Jensen models are popular restoration projects seen at classic shows and on enthusiast forums, and parts scarcity is a common restoration challenge. Collectors prize original interior trim, rare badges and correct period tyres during restorations.
