- A CLASSIC CAR DEALERSHIP WITH EVOCATIVE HISTORY IS CHOSEN TO HANDLE OFFICIAL JENSEN SALES
- OXFORDSHIRE-BASED JENSEN MOTORS LTD HAS JUST APPOINTED SLADES GARAGE AS ITS FIRST AUTHORISED CLASSIC CAR DEALERSHIP
24/04/2014.- Appropriately, the choice reflects Jensen Motors Ltd’s own pledge to protect the evocative brand by offering top craftsmanship and expertise, as well as bespoke services, to the discerning classic car lovers and collectors.
Buckinghamshire-based Slades Garage was established in 1922 and specialises in fine classic car sales, dealing with prestigious brands such as Aston Martin, Porsche, Rolls-Royce and Ferrari.
“Given our history in the classic car industry, we are delighted to add a marque as evocative as Jensen to our books,” says Lee Hickles, Sales Director at Slades Garage. “We look forward to offering our clients and loyal customer base the very best of original Jensen cars, and represent Jensen Motors Ltd.”
A dedicated line to marque enquiries and a sales specialist have been allocated to the new business.
“We are proud to have appointed our first official dealership,” says Jensen Motors Ltd Marketing Director and co-owner Steve Barby. “It dovetails perfectly with our plans to celebrate and preserve Jensen as a marque, showing that we are serious about expanding our business organically.”
Jensen Motors had recently announced its plans to produce eight ‘champagne’ authentic Jensen models to celebrate 80 years of the marque. The first commission to produce an immaculate, “just come out of the factory” Interceptor MkI has just been received.
“We intend to accompany each of the ‘champagne’ models sent out to their owners with 80 bottles of champagne, as a further reminder of the anniversary we celebrate. With 16 cu ft boot capacity, the first ‘champagne’ Interceptor we complete will not have a problem accommodating them,” says Managing Director and co-owner Gregg Alvarez.
