The Jensen Healey was a bit late to the British Sports Car craze, but that gave it an understanding of what not to do. The Jensen does not rely on a dowdy overhead valve engine, nor does it subject its occupants to a cramped austere interior. Instead, it has a spacious and luxurious cabin and features a powerful and sophisticated double over head cam engine borrowed from Lotus. Think of it as the "not just another" British Sports Car.
This Jensen is a rust free example that is finished in its original Buttercup Yellow paint, dealer installed luggage rack, roll bar and even air conditioning! Remarkably, the indicated 16,000 miles on the odometer is believed to be accurate. In recent years the car benefited from a complete mechanical restoration by renowned Jensen specialist Delta Motorsports. This just may be one of the most original and well preserved JenHe's in existence.
The Lotus 907 Twin Cam 16 Valve four cylinder produced a hearty 140 horsepower and sounds awesome doing it. The four speed transmission, disc brakes and sharp steering contribute to the well thought out chassis design. The Jensen Healey immediately dominated its sports car racing class during its storied but short lived campaign. It's true that as a company Jensen was not successful, but that only adds to its legend and to the scarcity of the marque.
This is a fully sorted example that includes the recent mechanical refresh, a new convertible top and fresh tires. It is good to go.
This Jensen Healey is located in Scottsdale, Arizona and is offered for sale as is where is with a clean Arizona Title.
