Jensen Motors introduced the Jensen GT, an estate-like coupé version of the Jensen-Healey, in 1975. 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 run (Sept 1975 – May 1976), 509 Jensen GTs were built before Jensen Motors went into receivership.
