About Jensen
The story of Jensen cars is a tale of British automotive craftsmanship and innovation that left a lasting impression on the world of luxury automobiles. Jensen, a relatively small automaker, managed to carve a niche for itself with its elegant and handcrafted vehicles.In the Beginning:
The Jensen story begins in 1934 when brothers Richard and Alan Jensen founded Jensen Motors Limited in West Bromwich, England. They initially started as a coachbuilding business, but their passion for automobiles led them to develop their own cars.
Jensen Models:
Jensen produced a range of models over the years, each with its own unique character and appeal.
Jensen Interceptor:
The Interceptor, introduced in the 1950s, is one of the most iconic models produced by Jensen. It was a luxurious and high-performance grand tourer that combined elegant styling with powerful engines. The Interceptor was known for its exceptional build quality and craftsmanship.
Jensen CV8:
The CV8, launched in the early 1960s, was another notable model. It was a fast and sophisticated sports car with a distinctive design. The CV8 was powered by a V8 engine, which contributed to its impressive performance.
Jensen Healey:
In the early 1970s, Jensen collaborated with Donald Healey to create the Jensen-Healey. This sports car was known for its affordability and fun-to-drive character, making it accessible to a broader range of enthusiasts.
Jensen GT and Jensen S-V8:
Jensen continued to produce vehicles with the GT and S-V8 models in the 1970s and early 2000s, respectively. The GT was a fastback version of the Interceptor, while the S-V8 was a modern take on the classic Jensen sports car.
Challenges and Closure:
Like many British automakers, Jensen faced financial challenges and ownership changes over the years. These difficulties ultimately led to the closure of the company in the early 2000s.
Legacy:
Despite its challenges, Jensen left behind a legacy of luxurious, handcrafted automobiles that were appreciated for their unique character and design. Their commitment to quality and craftsmanship made them stand out in the world of British motoring.
In conclusion, the story of Jensen cars is a testament to British ingenuity and the pursuit of excellence in automotive design and craftsmanship.
