HEA4K.
First may I say many thanks to Tony and all involved in keeping this old machine alive.
As some may know I've been toying with the idea of a Healey for some time and a few weeks back I heard that this one could be coming up for grabs, so grab I have.
HEA is now off to Cornwall to continue the small amount of works and to be used as was meant to be.
At present I am getting stuck in rush hour traffic around Bristol, what a way to break into Healeyship.
Air suspension and small block Chevy engine ordered ready for fitting.

Re: HEA4K.
Great surprise and well done Mark.
A new custodian for another first (fourth?) production car. Is it the earliest Jensen Healey in existence?

Re: HEA4K.
Tony has passed HEA onto a worthy new Jensen owner.
I am sure this will become a very rapid machine in time.

Re: HEA4K.
Glad I could help in getting 2 great Jensen
custodians in contact.
HEA 4K is in good hands and will be well used
and well looked after by Finches Garage.

Re: HEA 4K.
I'm not a stickler for originality with my cars, especially given that I just poked a 4L60E GM transmission in my Interceptor, but I'm don't have a historical car, nor one as nice looking as yours (although mine is pretty cool).
Anyway - it's your car, but it's only original once (if it is right now).
Good luck with the mod.

Re: HEA4K.
Looked good earlier, kept the roof down until the Cornish border then it all went a bit biblical flood conditions. 10/10 to the car it handled it well albeit a bit leaky.

Hi Rocky,
I'm sure that it's more than safe to assume that the modifications were mentioned with tongue firmly in cheek,
Regards,
Basil

I've heard the J-Hs are great fun in the alps (hint, hint Mark: Swiss Int Meet 2018)
