The Jensen-Healey was born from a partnership between Jensen Motors and Donald Healey, intended as a successor to the Austin-Healey 3000. Produced from 1972 to 1976, its most notable feature was the advanced Lotus 907 engine. This 2.0-liter, 16-valve, twin-cam unit was a high-point for a road car of its era, even if early cars had build quality issues.
Collectors appreciate the car's unique combination of British roadster design and a sophisticated Lotus powerplant. It offers a different experience than its MGB and TR6 contemporaries. The market remains accessible, with an average sale price around $10,283, making it a strong value for a classic sports car with a dual-overhead-cam engine. Later Mk II and the final JH5 models, with their 5-speed gearboxes, are often more sought after.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust thoroughly, especially in the sills, floorpans, wheel arches, and around the headlights.
- The Lotus 907 engine requires diligent maintenance. Look for records of timing belt changes and inspect for oil leaks from the cam covers and signs of past overheating.
- Test all electrical components, as Lucas systems can be temperamental. Ensure gauges, lights, and switches function correctly.
- Body panel gaps can be inconsistent from the factory, but look for signs of poor accident repair. Interior trim can be difficult to find, so a complete car is a big plus.
Prices range from $3,000 for project cars to $22,000 for excellent examples.
