<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Although not worth very much a well
sorted Jensen Healey is a far superior car to drive to the big
Healey. Not surprisingly as the design is 20 years younger.<br>
It was quick for the day, it is quite comfortable and has very
decent road holding. A JH will outrun a big Healey any time. The
engine is a work of art but needs proper maintainance and it can
be tweaked to well over 250BHP. You could replace it without to
much trouble with the simple but boring Rover/Buick V8, which
weighs about the same. If you start off with a rust free car the
financial risks are acceptable.<br>
As many cars were scrapped due to rust problems, there are plenty
of engines, gearboxes, rear axles to be had. Derivates from these
engines can also be found in a variety of Lotus cars and it was
build in turbo guise until early 2000.<br>
In Europe good Jensen Healey's have been on the up in the last
year or so. <br>
Most JH's were exported to the USA and the rust free examples are
now being exported back to Europe.<br>

<div>Why on earth would you be interested in a Jensen Healey?
Never be worth much and you will dump a lot of money into it.
