A serious rival to Jaguar XK140/150 and the Aston DB2 (and don’t forget the Alvis TD-TF) but for as little as a third of their respective values. One GT that’s often overlooked comes from Jensen as is often the case with this specialist, due – it is widely believed – that it lacks the sporting heritage of Aston Martin and Jaguar even though the West Midlands outfit can match that pair for performance and prestige. This pair of fab ’50’s GTs certainly are the Best of British but the right one for you may well surprise…īefore the Frog-eye came along, anything remotely sporty invariably spelt a big six-cylinder engine housed in a traditional chassis, best personified by the Big Healey and Jaguar’s XK – and there’s nothing wrong in that!
