Description
"The Jensen Healey was designed in a joint venture by Donald Healey and William Towns with Jensen Motors and it was hoped that Healey could help to contribute the sense of style that made the Austin Healey a hit. Jensen looked to Lotus for the power plant as they had a new, untested engine available, thus all Jensen Healey models came equipped with the new 1973cc Lotus 907 engine. This multi-valve engine has a claim to be the first to be used in a 'mass produced' car with a set-up producing approximately 144bhp and a top speed of 119mph, accelerating from 0-60mph in just 8.1 seconds.
This very presentable example is offered in light blue with black interior, black hood and comes with the rare factory hardtop. The last owner had the car for some 32 years and it has been the subject of a restoration between 2016 and 2017 when circa £17,000 was spent on the car. This included the replacement of its SU carbs with Dellorto’s and the work was carried out by Fourways Engineering near Sevenoaks in Kent. The car now looks extremely good all round and comes with a large history file. These are rare cars and one in this condition, even rarer!"
