A rare classic car - a 1971 Jensen MK III FF is to be auctioned by Sidmouth-based Potburys Auctioneers & Valuers in the 29 September sale.

Produced between 1966 and 1971, the Jensen FF is a four-wheel drive grand tourer, the first non all-terrain production car equipped with four-wheel drive and an anti-lock braking system.

Only 320 FFs were ever produced, and just 15 were the MK III model. Today the FF is the most sought-after car originally manufactured by Jensen Motors.

The car coming to auction later this month is a 1971-registered blue MK III FF with beige leather upholstery. It has a 6276cc petrol engine and the odometer reads 83,285 miles.

The MK III FF, garaged for several years, is being sold on behalf of a local owner. Due to its rarity, there is likely to be a good deal of interest in this classic car.

The auction sale is taking place on September 29.

Viewing is by appointment only at the Temple Street saleroom in Sidmouth on Saturday 26 September 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, and Monday 28 September, 9:00 am to 7:00 pm.

Bidding will be online via www.the-saleroom.com. Telephone bidding and commission bidding are also available.
