This 1974 Jensen-Healey Mk II roadster was reportedly purchased by the seller’s father in 1975, and is said to have remained under the ownership of the seller’s family through their acquisition in 2019. Finished in yellow over brown vinyl, the car is powered by a 1,973L Lotus twin-cam inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Features include a black soft top, 13″ factory wheels, crank windows, and a later Pioneer CD stereo connected to aftermarket speakers. Work in 2021 is said to have included rebuilding of the carburetors, an oil change, and a general maintenance inspection.
The body is finished in yellow and features chrome-aLented black side trim, a left-side mirror, and a black vinyl soft top and matching boot. The windshield is said to have been replaced, and chipped paint is visible on the doors, wheel arches, and right-front fender.
13″ alloy wheels with black-painted aLents wear Jensen-Healey center caps and 185/70 Kumho Solus tires. Braking is handled by discs up front and drums out back.
The cabin features bucket seats that have been re-trimmed in brown vinyl with matching carpets protected by black rubber floor mats. Equipment includes crank windows, a locking glovebox, and a Pioneer CD stereo connected to aftermarket speakers. The right side of the dashboard is cracked, the rear shelf carpeting has been replaced, and there is a tear in the vinyl on the left door panel.
The two-spoke steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation that includes a 140-mph speedometer, an 8k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for voltage, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows approximately 87k miles.
The 1,973L Lotus Type 907 twin-cam inline-four features aluminum construction and four valves per cylinder, and power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. Work in March 2021 is said to have included rebuilding of the carburetors, lubrication of the throttle linkage, an oil change, and a general inspection of the fluids, belts, and powertrain mounts.
The car is supplied with manufacturer’s literature, purchase documents, a shop manual, the removed Jensen-Healey-branded eight-track stereo, and a tonneau cover that shows a rip along the zipper.
