74 Jensen Healey Buttercup yellow, vin# 15385

Owned the car since 2001, came from California. The Jensen Healey uses a 1973cc Lotus Type 907, dual overhead cam, 4 cylinder, 16 valve, all-alloy power plant. This multi-valve engine has a claim to be the first to be used in a "mass produced" car. It provides approximately 144 bhp (107 kW), topping out at 119 mph (192 km/h) and accelerating from zero to 60 mph in 8.3 seconds. It has 66k miles on it. The Jensen Healey was one of very few cars in history to win the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) D Production Championship in its first year of racing. It would capture five of these championships in total, proving its inaugural win was no fluke. Ultimately the Jensen-Healey would stay in production from 1973 until 1976 when Jensen Motors ceased operations. Just over 10,000 cars were built and they remain affordable classics today.
