Jensen-Healey 1140/10772

Built 5th Dec., 1972, first registered for road use 12th Dec., 1972. Was used as a company car by Jensen, it appears its first user was Ian Royal, the Parts & Service Manager.

Engine No. 72 05 0100,  not listed on originality certificate from Martin Robey, but most likely a factory replacement. This engine smokes heavily and will be replaced by a rebuilt engine in the coming year.

Currently Red exterior/Black interior. Originally Mustard/Black, seems to have been re-sprayed entirely, perhaps by factory when engine replaced?

Generally in good condition except for the engine. It drives well and is registered for road use, after having been laid up from the mid-1990s through 2004 (I think), I purcahsed the car this September and am the sixth owner. Current mileage is just over 30K, and seems correct.

The car is present located in Glasgow, Scotland.
