History
This car was purchased in Edmonds, WA in the fall of 2020. The owner was a 90 year old man about to move to Arizona. His daughter help him sell the car online. I was amazed by his health as he helped me push the car out of the garage to be loaded on my trailer. He is my latest hero as I hope to be like him when I’m 90.
The Jensen Healey was to replace Don Healey very successful Austin Healey 3000 that cease production in 1968. It was a collaboration with San Francisco’s importer Qjell Qvale. Unfortunately, the company ran into financial hardship and production stopped in 1976.
