The Iconic Sale at Race Retro 20th-22nd February 2026

+ buyer’s premium of 12.5% plus VAT (15% incl VAT) 177 The car presented here is a 1966 Jensen FF MkI (Chassis #119/103) and is one of only 195 such examples produced. Today, #119/103 remains in its wholly original state, having never been restored, seemingly lost to the world, in hibernation, for almost 35 years in an outbuilding of a country house. It remains the property of our vendor, after she inherited it following the death of her father, the car’s original owner. Effectively then, this FF is of single-ownership (i.e. by the time it was passed down, it was already laid-up and wasn’t ever driven again). It was ordered new by Mr S.T. Pickard Esq. on the 30th January 1969, specified in Mist Grey paintwork with black upholstery, via West Central Garage Ltd of Wolverhampton. Mr Pickard specified air horns and a fog lamp, whilst also part- exchanging his 1962 Mercedes-Benz 220SE as part of the deal, paying £5,600 (the equivalent of £113,400 today) for his new FF. Originally registered as VUK 242G on the 7th March 1969, we are told that he wanted such a capable model to be able to drive out on a Friday afternoon to check on the work at the numerous local Staffordshire quarry sites that he owned and managed, no doubt utilising the air-horns with good effect! The car was thoroughly enjoyed and driven some 60,000 miles by Mr Pickard, whilst routinely going back to Jensen for servicing and maintenance, before being registered in the Isle of Man in 1973, where he then resided. Following his death in early 1997, the car came back to the mainland and was driven into its garage. With time and life moving on, there it has sat, as it was, keys and handbooks still in situ, until now. As we understand it, #119/103 has never been restored, painted, crashed, or damaged and surely must be one of the best-preserved FF examples remaining. The interior, although dusty and cobweb-strewn, looks complete, intact and in fine fettle. Likewise, the engine bay looks complete, apart from a battery, clearly showing chassis and engine numbers. We are fully aware of all the details appertaining to #119/103 because it’s original sales invoice, original green logbook and a series of Jensen services invoices all still accompany the car, being retained by our vendor. These documents show just how diligent Mr Pickard was about his FF, ensuring its mechanical health right up until it was laid-up. This venerable Jensen has not seen daylight, having not turned a wheel, since 1997. It has remained in a dry, weather-tight garage, attached to a workshop in an outbuilding of our vendor’s house ever since. Obviously, it will require a substantial overhaul, but we believe this FF offers huge potential and is an exciting opportunity to invest in a ‘lost’ FF, one with an almost unrepeatable story of ownership, preservation and circumstance, showing how a family can bestow such attachment to a special car for almost 60 years. It is a real privilege to bring this car to the market, to be able to tell its story and promote its virtues. One of the most admired British sports-cars of all time, with a remarkable ownership back-story, never restored, wholly original and emerging from almost 30 years of hibernation.
