Up for auction is my very nice 1974 Jensen Healey. The car sports its original 2 litre, 16 valve, twin overhead cam Lotus engine and the car has only 87,785 on the odometer. The Jensen Healey is very rare having a limited production run and in 1974 only 7,142 where produced so you don't see these cars very often. I purchased the car from a doctor who owned, loved and took care of this rare Jensen Healey for over 30 years. Mechanically: The car runs and drives great. The car starts right up with no issues or smoke and holds very good oil pressure. The car was recently serviced which included a tune up, carburetors tuned and balanced, oil change, new brake master cylinder, new windshield wiper blades. transmission & rear end fluids serviced and all other fluids toped off. Also, this week a complete new exhaust system was installed. The car shifts up / down through all gears with no bidding or grinding of the gears. The car drives true and straight and the steering is tight and responsive. At this time I know of nothing the car needs other that to be driven and enjoyed. Electrical's: This area is in excellent condition with the following items in working order. Headlights ( high & low beam ) work , wipers work, front & rear turn signals work, front & rear running lights work, front and rear side marker lights work, brake lights work, backup lights work, license plate lights work, dash gauge lights work, radio works, hazard switch works, cigarette lighter works and blower fan works. Note: The stereo was just replaced this week. Gauges: All gauges are correct and original "Smith" brand and are in proper working order. The car does also retains its original Jeager dash clock that works on again off again. Interior: Nice presentable driver quality as shown in the photos. Exterior: This is a nice driver quality exterior with like new radial tires. The car sits nicely on the ground with no signs of leaning or sagging. As seen all body panels, hood, trunk, wheel arches, dog legs and doors are straight. Note: the photos where taken last week so they don't show the new exhaust system that was installed this week. Underbody: The underbody is in outstanding condition as seen in the auction photo. I do have more photos available upon request. Soft Top: Is in like new condition and is only about 6 months old. Trunk: The trunk is solid and has a spare wheel. Reserve Price: The reserve is set at $5,000 which is way, way below the book price on the car. Yes I'm open to offers as long as they are above the current bid price on the car. Overseas Bidders: Yes the auction is open to overseas bidders.

I don't claim to be an expert and my opinion of the car may vary from yours so please look at the photos closely and if you need more information or extra photos let me know prior to bidding. I know how hard it is to purchase a car online so please ask any and all questions you have prior to bidding or if you can come see and drive the car for yourself ( I really encourage you to do so ) as I want the winning bidder to be satisfied with the car when it arrives.
