Hi all,
My friend John has a friend who is trying to sell a Jensen Healey in
Bellingham Washington. My buddy wondered if I was interested, but I have no
time or space, but I do have to admit I am tempted. I told him I would post
it to the list in hopes that this car can find a good home. NFI, just
posting for a friend.
Here is the email I got, there were pictures attached, I have uploaded them
to my on line album so you can view them

If anyone is interested, contact the owner.

Hi John,
Here's three pics. I'm the second owner. The car needs paint and does has
the beginings of some rust in the typical Jensen Healy places - right behind
the tires at the bottom of the fenders and the drivers side floor pan has
been replaced with new metal.
The car has about 95K on the original Lotus engine - dual Stromberg carbs.
It is a strong runner. I had a new front end put under it a couple of years
ago.
I have the flat tonneau cover, the wagon style rims currently on the car and
the original rims. The best part about the car is that it runs well and I
haven't had too much trouble with it. The clutch has gone out but there's
new one in there with about 2 or 3K miles on it. Rubber is good.
Other problems
The soft top needs to get re-stiched (spelling?) on both the front corners.
Tach is not working.
Cigarette lighter is toast
The little plastic door light cover on the passenger door is broken
And the drivers seat is ripped and more or less shot - foam is bad.
I'm sure that there are other imperfections that I've missed but these are
the obvious ones.
I don't know what it's worth. I would like to get $4000 as I've got more
than that into it - but I've had it since about 1987 or so and I've had lots
of fun with it.
However, I have some other bills to pay and I'm feeling guilty about having
it sit outside. It needs a home with someone that has the time and energy
and money and facilities to better take of it.
