Description
This is an exceptionally sharp, beautifully presented example of the rare Jensen-Healey, bearing the registration PHA 789R. Benefiting from a meticulous and highly extensive two-year course of mechanical and cosmetic recommissioning carried out by a classic car specialist workshop between 2021 and 2022, this late-production Jensen-Healey represents a rare opportunity to acquire a thoroughly refreshed, turn-key example of the marque. Combining the legendary Lotus-developed 16-valve engine with tasteful, performance-oriented upgrades PHA 789R is ready for reliable long-distance touring.
with a strong focus on mechanical dependability and chassis dynamics. Under the bonnet, the engine was treated to a full major service, alongside a brand-new timing belt and tensioner kit, a reconditioned water pump, fresh cooling hoses, a new radiator, and a new fuel pump. The drivetrain was further enhanced with a completely overhauled prop shaft. Dynamically, the car handles sublimely thanks to a comprehensive chassis overhaul, which included brand-new front and rear shock absorbers, new springs, an upgraded anti-roll bar kit, and a complete front and rear polybush kit. Stopping power is equally sharp, courtesy of new front brake discs and pads alongside fresh rear brake shoe linings. The car sits beautifully on four new Minilite road wheels, freshly refurbished and painted in striking Satin Black, all wrapped in premium, high-performance Vredestein tyres.
The attention to detail extends into the cockpit, which presents wonderfully. A standout feature is the beautifully re-veneered wooden dashboard, bringing a renewed touch of period luxury to the cabin. The exterior aesthetic and practicality are brilliantly finished off with a brand-new, high-quality black mohair tonneau cover, providing excellent weather protection when parked. Completed in July 2022 and having been carefully stored since, this mechanically sorted and beautifully detailed Jensen-Healey is the ideal choice for an enthusiast seeking a rare, high-revving British classic that drives as sharply as it looks.
