Following the demise of the Austin-Healey 3000, Donald Healey was appointed Chairman of Jensen Motors in 1970 and work started on the design of what was to be the last car to bear the famous Healey name. The Jensen-Healey was designed as a joint venture by Donald Healey, his son Geoffrey, and Jensen Motors. It was the hope that Healey would contribute the sense of style that made the Austin-Healey so successful. Colin Chapman of Lotus offered to help and Jensen accepted his company’s new 1973 cc Lotus 907 engine, a two litre, DOHC, 16 valve all-alloy powerplant. This multi-valve engine was the first to be mass produced on an assembly line and produced a power output of approximately 144bhp, sufficient for a top speed of 119 mph and acceleration from 0-60mph in 8.1 seconds. Disc brakes were fitted at the front while drums sufficed for the rear.

Purchased eight years ago by the vendor, who has carried out significant reconditioning, this example has been MoT'd every year since and has seen regular use on the road. Benefiting from a new steering rack within the last year, a new fuel pump, new floor and outer sills, new front bumper and new clutch have also been fitted during the current ownership. Accompanied by a current MoT to April 2026, it ran well at the time of inspection. Finished in a classic colour combination of red over black leather trim, SKX 552L is temptingly offered without reserve.
