How many Jensen Healeys are left in New Zealand?
Rare 1 in 80,601 on the road Built 1972-1976 Sold new in New Zealand
Updated from the NZTA Motor Vehicle Register, counted as at 31 August 2026. Recounted every month.
A two-seat roadster launched in 1972, born from Donald Healey's wish for a successor to the Austin-Healey and built by Jensen. It used Vauxhall suspension parts and a new 2.0-litre, sixteen-valve Lotus engine, which was lively but troublesome in early cars. It was Jensen's best seller, and ended when the company failed in 1976.
