Description

The Jensen Healey and Jensen GT were built by Jensen Motors Ltd. of West Bromwich, England from March 1972 until May 1976. A little over 10,000 convertibles were manufactured during this time. Some of the last Jensen's to roll out the doors were the Jensen GT ('76 model year) of which a scant 509 were produced. All Jensen Healey and Jensen GT automobiles came equipped with the brand-new 2 liter, 16-valve Lotus built 907 engine. Home market and European destination cars had twin 40mm Dellorto carburetors while U.S. Federal destination cars came with twin Stromberg carburetors. Jensen Motors numbered the JH starting at 10000 in 1972. 10000-13349 are Mark I cars. 13500-20504 are Mark II cars. 18900 + VINs also have the JH-5s mixed in. Jensen GT numbers started at 30000 in September '75. Jensen went "up market" with the GT hardtop. Donald Healey departs Jensen Motors, hence dropping of "Healey" moniker. Jensen GT has revamped badges to reflect this. Smooth, quiet, refined- the GT offers luxuriously appointed full, burl wood dash and factory-installed air conditioning for all U.S. bound models (all Jensen Healey's with A/C were dealer installed). Sticker price in U.S. crests well over $11,000, astonishing the motoring public at that time. Now you can own this 42,000 ORIGINAL mile car for THOUSANDS less!This Jensen GT has only 42,592 original miles and runs great with a surprising amount of power coming from the dual overhead cam 4 cylinder. This two owner car has always been garaged kept and mechanically sound coming out of the dry state of Arizona! When you turn the key she always fires right up and is ready for the open road. The paint does have some minor scratches and normal imperfections for a 28 year old car but nothing major. The chrome trim has minor peeling around the doors and around the front bumper. The front spoiler and bumper are both in great condition with only minor scratches. The same goes for the rear. There are two very small bubbles visible on the lower rocker right below the passenger door.
