JENSEN GT Ultra-rare
As of 2025 Q4, 59 JENSEN GTs remain registered in the UK — one of the rarest cars in Britain on today's roads. That's down from a peak of 61 in 2022 Q4 — only 97% of the high-water mark, a loss of about 2 cars. Numbers have held broadly steady over recent years rather than falling away — often the mark of a model that owners deliberately preserve. Tellingly, 44% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up. In all, the JENSEN GT is rarer than 64% of the 2,408 UK car models we track, putting it firmly in 2025's endangered class.

About the GT
The Jensen GT is a British sports car. It was introduced by Jensen Motors in 1975 as the shooting-brake version of the Jensen-Healey. The new configuration was a 2+2 design with a very limited back seat. Aside from the body shape and seating, relatively little differed from the roadster. Acceleration and top speed were slightly reduced due to the increased weight and additional smog control components on the engine. During its short production run from September 1975 until May 1976, 511 Jensen GTs were built before Jensen Motors went into receivership.
