1974 JENSEN HEALEY MARK II CONVERTIBLE ROADSTER

This superb 1974 Jensen Healey Mark II roadster is powered by the 145-hp 16-valve 2-liter Lotus 907 twin-cam engine coupled to a four-speed manual transmission which translates into FUN! By way of comparison a TR6 of the same period offered only 105 hp and the MGB barely 80. Top speed of the Jensen Healey was approximately 125 mph. Restored with only the clock gas gauge or sender unit and the heater fan rocker switch to be completed. Included is the Jensen Healey Workshop Manual. Engine starts right up with a turn of the key and the Lotus Overhead Cam 16 Valve engine runs smooth and strong no issues with the clutch or brakes. The pictures tell the story. This was the last of the hand built British production sports cars.

Hemmings Motor News reported:

It's seldom mentioned in the same breath as Triumph MG or even Datsun Alfa Romeo or Fiat but the Jensen Healey was a serious car that sold in serious numbers. Because of the relative obscurity outside of the club scene it's an outstanding value against its competition today. With a 140hp twin-cam under the hood of a 2116 pound car the Jensen Healey was priced well above a 240Z lower than the high-powered convertibles from Jaguar or Porsche and almost twice what would get you into an MGB or TR6. What to Pay - Low - $7000 Average - $14000 High - $18000
