I've put about 700 miles on my Jensen Healey after finishing the restoration. My friend Robert Morey with British Car Consulting did the restoration, and I could not be happier. I helped where I could, but I think I'm better at woodwork. This car is so much fun to drive, I have to wipe the smile off my face every time I step out of it.

Congratulations Mike - you have every right to have a smile on face after driving that beauty!
Seeing the photos on your street brought back fond memories of our own UK Jensens parked up in your street a few year ago 8)

Thanks for all the kind comments guys. The CV8 is still on your side of the pond. I may post a few photos when it starts to come together.
