In total 10,503 (10 prototypes, 3,347 Mk.1 and 7,146 Mk.2) were produced by Jensen Motors Ltd. in West Bromwich, England. Launched in 1972 as a fast, luxurious and competent convertible sports car, it was positioned in the market between the Triumph TR6 and the Jaguar E-Type. The 50/50 weight balance achieved by the use of the all alloy Lotus 907 engine led to universal praise as having excellent handling. Competing directly with MG, Austin Healey, Triumph and Jaguar.

It has the 5 speed transmission, wood grain dash, clock and other improvements over the earlier cars. More importantly is that this car is almost COMPLETELY original.
