Now this is a bit of me, I stripped and painted one many years ago with a friend, very ahead of its time, lots of different configurations during production, the early ones rotted bad but bodies were made in italy (make your own punchline) The West Brom boys made a better job and with a mate from Coventry came up with the "FF" which was the big one, 7.2 litre 330bhp The mate was Ferguson tractors who were pioneering four wheel drive for F1 in the late 50`s. I worked for Bosch automotive for 28 years and had to listen to many people over the years claiming Bosch invented ABS all the while knowing that Dunlop designed it in Brum and fitted it to Fire engines and the FF (which has a longer front because of 4x4 which accounts for the double shark gill louvre instead of smaller single louvre on RWD models, I would have one of these in a heartbeat if I had a friend in OPEC who could get ma a staff discount! It was no coincidence that the 1976 oil slump and world recession came about when Jenson closed its doors for production
