This Jensen – Healey got away, but there are more like it here.

1973 Jensen-Healey

Bid to $8,600 on 3/10/23

This 1973 Jensen-Healey is a Mark I example finished in green over black vinyl upholstery and powered by a 2.0L Lotus twin-cam inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The car was refurbished under prior ownership, receiving body repairs along with a repaint and new upholstery. Equipment includes a black soft top, 13” wheels, power-assisted front disc brakes, a front lip spoiler, and a left-side mirror. This Jensen-Healey spent time in Arkansas before it was acquired by the selling dealer in 2022, and it is now offered in Missouri with a soft top boot, tools, spare parts, and a clean Arkansas title.

The floor pans are said to have been replaced and areas of the body received new sheet metal before a repaint in green during the aforementioned refurbishment. Additional features include a black soft top, chrome-accented bumpers, a front lip spoiler, and a left-side mirror.

Factory 13” wheels are mounted with 205/60 BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires, and a spare wheel is stored under the trunk. Braking is handled by power-assisted front discs and rear drums. The upper and lower ball joints, brake master cylinder, and front pads were reportedly replaced in preparation for the sale. Corrosion and curb marks are visible on the wheels.

The bucket seats are trimmed in black vinyl with matching door panels and carpets. Cracks on the instrument panel trim and center console can be viewed in the gallery along with wear on the climate control panel.

The two-spoke steering wheel fronts Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 140-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 7k-rpm redline, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 47k miles. The coolant temperature gauge is inoperative, and the tachometer is rotated to the left.

The 2.0-liter Lotus 907 twin-cam inline-four was factory rated at 144 horsepower and features aluminum construction, four valves per cylinder, twin Zenith-Stromberg carburetors, and a PerTronix Flame Thrower ignition coil. The selling dealer reports that the carburetors, spark plugs, and ignition wires were replaced and that the hood springs are weak.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Corrosion is visible on underbody components.
