Vehicle Description
Stk 2382 1973 Jensen-Healey PROJECT
The Jensen-Healey is a British two-seater that was manufactured
from 1972 through 1976. It was positioned in the market between the
Triumph TR-6 and the Jag E-Type. A total of 10,500 roadsters were
produced by Jensen Motors Ltd. Our 1973 Jensen-Healey has been well
cared for by the current owner for the last 23 years. A lot of
restoration work has been completed, but there are still some areas
that need to be addressed. The heart of the Jensen-Healey is the
Lotus designed '907' engine and this one runs very well. This 2.0L
DOHC all-alloy engine was the first modern 4-valve engine to be
mass-produced on an assembly line. It incorporates all the
mechanical advancements of Lotus racing technology, but gives a
wide, usable power band for the street. Fuel is provided by a pair
of Zenith Stromberg single-barrel carbs and the engine does not
require emission air pumps or exhaust recirculation equipment. It
produces over 140bhp and power is transmitted through a 4-speed
all-synchromesh manual gearbox. Suspension is simple, but
effective. A double wishbone/coil set-up is utilized at the front
and a live rear axle with trailing arms/coils at the rear.
Power-assisted brakes consist of Girling Type 14 discs at the front
and drums at the rear. A set of Powersport 'MiniLite' style alloy
wheels mount nice Pirelli radial tires. The body of the
Jensen-Healey was reshot with Corvette Red in 1996 and the 2-stage
paint is still in good condition. There is a scrape on the right
rear quarter panel and there is evidence of some minor rust in a
few other spots. The black vinyl interior was also refreshed in
1996. New carpet has just been installed and an Eclipse AM/FM/CD
stereo system has been installed. A manually operated soft-top is
in good condition. This car has been well cared for, virtually
complete and runs great. A little finish work is all that this rare
Jensen-Healey needs to be ready for your next import cruise-in. ALL
VEHICLES SOLD "AS IS".
