AI Listing Summary
This is a sought-after MK1 Jensen-Healey, a rarer variant featuring a rebuilt twin-cam Lotus engine and gearbox, along with a new mohair hood and hardtop. The car presents in fair cosmetic condition with some paint attention needed and minor dings, but offers an affordable entry into classic British sports cars with recent mechanical work.
Condition
6
The car is described as being in 'fair condition' cosmetically. While it has benefited from a new mohair hood and refurbished seats, the paintwork 'would benefit from some attention' with 'a few minor dings' present. The engine and gearbox have reportedly been thoroughly rebuilt, which is a significant positive. However, the cosmetic imperfections prevent it from rating higher than 'Good'.

Description Sought after and rarer 'MK1' example; twin-Cam 16-valve Lotus engine with Overdrive; reported thorough rebuild of engine and gearbox; new mohair hood and seat covers; Hard top included; driven to the sale The Jensen-Healey was conceived as a modern successor to the Austin-Healey 3000, with Jensen Motors and Donald Healey combining forces to create a new generation of British sports car.
Built at Jensen’s West Bromwich factory, the two-seat roadster featured traditional styling alongside more modern engineering, most notably Colin Chapman’s 2.0-litre, 16-valve Lotus 907 twin-cam engine.
With around 140bhp, rear-wheel drive and a four-speed manual gearbox, the Jensen-Healey offered impressive performance and genuine open-top appeal.
Manufactured in 1972, this particular ‘MK1’ example left the factory in red before later being re-painted in the iconic light blue synonymous with the model.
The MK1 being considerably rarer than the later MK2.
