I have never had one of these cars, never driven one, and don’t make out if I’ve ever seen one – but something is draining me towards getting one.  By some indirect sequence of situation, I finished up looking at a shoot forward one, 1973, last obscurity, and it somewhat caught my regard. 

It was $2500, which seemed governable if it was the right value.   It indispensably a new master cylinder, ‘origin it doesn’t close right now.  Draw near to think of it, that’s a darn useful way to stop tribe taking a car you are selling out – rightful tell them that it won’t close up, and they won’t be able to find out all those running problems that you have!  The photos show it as distinctly tatty – at 35 years old, that’s not too wonderful.  By the way, this car is advertized on the internet – I’m not going to mention one by one you where, in case I dearth to go for it!

The Jensen Healey was only produced for a few years in the seventies, so is totally rare.  Having that Jensen name is comely sweet, too.  I muse it had a Lotus developed machine, which is another name that I’d like my car to be associated with.  I lawful can’t for the life of me call to remembrance why it wasn’t a cyclopean success, and that worries me.  Does anyone understand of any great problems that it had?

If you don’t call to mind it, it was an open sports car, and with Healey, Jensen and Lotus involved, that should have been a bang-dunk issue.  To my eye, it’s in some degree reminiscent of the later TRs, a fairly colors sort of make (sorry if I offended any enthusiasts there).

So I e-mailed the guy, and have got an make answer already.  I asked if he knew where to get qualities – as I have an Austin-Healey still being restored (sometimes), I know where  to go for those, and I in fact don’t think I have the duration or the contacts to get gifts manufactured from mark with a scratch scratches.  He didn’t seem to have any creative-active ideal, but was earnest enough to say that it needed the fern master cylinder replaced, and the carburetors (which I see from the drawing are SUs) rebuilt, and he gave me more photographs.
