Paul,
They all look good in pictures. Even Bride of Frankenstein was kinda sexy. :-)
If you really want to impress your boss, talk him out of it!
The engine shares parts with Lotus engines of that era. Jensen was the sucker,
er proving ground for Lotus before they dared put this powerplant in one of
their own cars.
Was \'74 a good year? For me it was but I don\'t know if there were any good
years for Jensen-Healeys.
Grab one of Donald Healey\'s books and you will find comments on his love for
the Jensen fiasco.
But despite all of these comments, if your boss is fascincated by bland cars
that have little or no value or build quality, this is the car for him.
Hell, he could even restore one and sell it for 1/3 of that amount when he
realizes what he has done.
Fred
PS You may want to keep your resume up to date in case he blames you for
helping him purchase one of these.

My General Manager left me a voice message about a \'74 Jensen
Healey someone is trying to sell him. He told me that from the
picture, the car looks good.
Please educate me so I can educate him on these cars. This guy
is the big cheese so I need some answers!
What are these cars worth? Do they share Spridget parts? Is
there a web site so I can see what the look like? When were these
made? Is \'74 a good year? Parts availability - VB and Mo$$?
This has been my only day in the office for over two weeks. Gone
again tomorrow. Back on List Monday. Therefore, responses
directly back to me would be best.
TIA!
Paul
