Vehicle Description
33,564 MILES LOTUS 907 2.0L DOHC 16V YELLOW EXTERIOR WITH BLACK
VINYL INTERIOR 2 SEATER CONVERTIBLE SPORTS CAR BEST-SELLING JENSEN
OF ALL TIME FULLY TUNED LOTUS FACTORY MOTOR WITH TWIN CAMS AND
CARBS AND 140 HP. THIS IS A ONE-OWNER CAR WITH 80% OF ITS ORIGINAL
PAINT THAT RUNS AND DRIVES VERY GOOD. NEW TOP RECENTLY SERVICED
LAUNCHED IN 1972 AS A FAST, LUXURIOUS AND COMPETENT CONVERTIBLE
SPORTS CAR, IT WAS POSITIONED IN THE MARKET BETWEEN THE TRIUMPH AND
THE JAGUAR E-TYPE. THE JENSEN-HEALEY WAS ONE OF THE LAST EFFORTS OF
THE JENSEN MOTOR COMPANY BEFORE THEIR DEMISE IN 1976, PARTLY DUE TO
THE 1974 OIL CRISIS. THIS SERIES 2 CAR FEATURED A LOTUS 907 ENGINE,
WHICH WAS THE FIRST ENGINE TO USE DOHC AND 16 VALVES PER CYLINDER.
THE JENSEN-HEALEY WAS DESIGNED BY THE SAME PERSON WHO DESIGNED THE
ASTON MARTIN LAGONDA AND WAS THE BEST SELLING JENSEN OF ALL TIME.
THE 50/50 WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION OF THIS CAR MADE IT A GREAT HANDLING
CAR, AND WITH ITS 144 HP, 0-60 TIME OF 8 SEC AND 119 MPH TOP SPEED,
IT WAS FOR SURE A GREAT, LAST HURRAH OF THE JENSEN MOTOR COMPANY.
