AI Listing Summary

This 1972 Jensen-Healey Mk1, one of fewer than 450 surviving, presents a rewarding restoration project. While it retains its original, rebuilt Lotus engine (currently not installed) and boasts a sound body shell, it requires recommissioning after being off the road for over two decades.
