Description
Jensen GT chassis number 30045 (45th GT made)
Disposal from the Jensen Museum Collection.
The Jensen GT was Jensen's answer to the ongoing fuel crisis of the time - creating a high quality & economical mid-range sports GT for the younger businessman. During the short production period from September 1975 to May 1976, a total of just 511 Jensen GTs were made, of which only 218 were right-hand drive.
This particular Jensen GT is one of the desirable so-called Sub-50 Cars. The first fifty GTs having a distinctive front bonnet apron with stainless steel finisher. The car was sold from the factory in right-hand-drive form, and was one of the few equipped with a full length Webasto sunroof.
The Jensen Owners’ Club Jensen-Healey & GT Registrar, David Booth, restored this car in the earlier 2000s, and the car was acquired directly from Booth for the Jensen Museum in 2017. Although the Museum already owned the pre-production prototype GT, another example was wanted with the idea of having the car prepared to a high standard to be used as an everyday motoring experience.
