Introduction
Glyn Parry
A British engineering marvel, the SP blends a powerful American V8 with sleek Italian styling, making it one of the era's most coveted classics.
The Jensen SP (short for "Six Pack"), holds the distinction of being the most powerful car ever made by Jensen Motors. Considerably rare, only ~232 SP models were ever produced, with just 130 built with the '131' suffix for the right-hand-drive home market. At its release in August 1971, the SP was among the most powerful road cars in the world, with a specification that seemed to defy the times. The SP boasted an advanced Six-Pack carburettor system and a high-displacement V8 Chrysler engine—both cutting-edge features for its time.
The chassis register confirms that this particular model is a numbers-matching car and came as standard with air conditioning, a vinyl-trimmed roof, town and country horns, and Sundym tinted glass. Now finished in a burnt orange colour (having previously been "Jensen Tango"), with suitably matched black upholstery, the SP has undergone many upgrades over its last ~4 years under its current ownership. Upgrades include brake servo and master cylinder, new alternator, radiator flush, new fan sender, and reconditioned fans. The car also is currently fitted with an Edelbrock intake manifold and four-barrel carburettor, but comes with the original SP set-up.
This listing was written from information supplied by Glyn after meeting David the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.
