[Healeys] Jensen-Healey?

[Greg Lemon]

I have not owned one, but have shopped them a bit and driven a few, as Jody 
said one of the best deals out there for vintage british cars, by the 
numbers (acceleration, etc.)  they will beat a big healey, which of course 
they should having about 20 years of additional engineering progression in 
there design.

The car has a nice roomy  cockpit and good handling, as well as the lotus 
twin cam motor.

Lotus said the motor was not ready for production and would not guarantee 
them, and indeed they were not ready, so some of the teething problems are 
part of the reason the cars got a bad reputation from the get go and did not 
do as well as hoped commercially ans lost Jensen money/

Some criticize the looks, always a matter of taste, but I think it is a 
handsome design not timelessly beautiful like a big Healey, but handsome and 
straightforward with clean lines and a nice low sporting beltline.

Cettainly not a POS IMHO.
