I'm now the happy-ish owner of a 1972 Mk I Jensen-Healey. Its car no. 10722 first licensed on 12/12/72 and used by Jensen as a company car until 1974. I understand that Ian Royal (shown in the photograph on this site - middle of back row) was the first user. Its in pretty decent shape- a few very minor spots of rust to remedy, and in need of new seats to replace some after-market monstrosities installed by a DPO, some attention to the window winders, an inoperative fuel gauge, etc. - the sorts of minor aliments these cars suffer. The engine smokes dreadfully and I'll need to rebuild that over the winter, and I look to upgrade to a Toyota 5 speed and Excel bell housing. I've already acquired a cross-drilled 2.2 crank and bearings, a later head and should be getting some higher compression pistons soon too. I'll be back....

Congratulations on your car James! I have done the supra 5 gearbox conversion with Excel bellhousing with regular clutchcable operation (normally they are hydraulic clutch operated). My engine is 2.2L with x-drilled lotus crank and the later 2.2L head etc etc. So if you have any questions or want to see pics let me know Erik Harkes, The Shark 15175 Netherlands |

I'd like to add my congratulations as well. I do so totally enjoy my JH. With the colder winter time approaching all the Northern hemisphere types I forsee many hours ahead of you "sorting things out" in the next few months. Harkes, post up some pictures! I do so want to see how everything turned out. Joey |
