In the mid-1960s, when most carmakers were still refining rear-wheel-drive sports cars and drum brakes, a small company in West Bromwich quietly rewrote the rules of automotive engineering. Jensen Motors, known for its elegant grand tourers, dared to imagine something no one else had attempted-a production car with permanent four-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes. The result was the Jensen FF, a handcrafted masterpiece that outpaced its time by decades. Ahead of Its Drive: The Jensen FF Story chronicles the complete and compelling history of this groundbreaking British car. From its origins under the Jensen brothers to its partnership with Harry Ferguson Research, and from the excitement of its 1966 London Motor Show debut to its influence on today's high-tech GTs, the book tells a story of courage, craftsmanship, and innovation against all odds. With meticulous detail and narrative clarity, it explores the people who built it, the technology that defined it, and the legacy that endures long after production ceased. More than a chronicle of a car, this is the story of a vision-how a small, determined manufacturer proved that brilliance could come from anywhere, and that true innovation often arrives long before the world is ready to understand it.
