I can remember when I thought that orange was just godawful, but I have to say of late it's been growing on me. That one ...   08-22-2020 03:32 pm

gmgiltd, I'm glad to hear there's a little common sense being used in the UK. Unfortunately in California they still like harassing classic car owners. I find ...   08-21-2020 04:52 pm

I was watching the Showtime documentary on the rock band The GO GOs, about mid way through they showed bits of the MTV video "Our ...   08-19-2020 02:31 pm

Jag, A couple things to keep in mind, first it's British, let's face it continuity during production really wasn't their thing. Also most of these cars ...   08-06-2020 03:45 pm

Jag, I don't think anyone here called you a fool, or even implied you were for asking a question about door locks. If you think this ...   08-05-2020 04:47 pm

Jensendriver, You've got good compression in all four holes, why not try a stop leak product before you pull the head. ...   07-31-2020 04:36 pm

Jag, Both door locks should work, otherwise why would they have put one on the passenger side in the first place. Both of my door locks ...   07-31-2020 01:40 am

Disco, It looks like you've got a set of '73 plates(3), one went on the driver side door(VIN plate), the other two(big one and JENSEN-HEALEY small ...   07-30-2020 05:37 pm

Art, With the light steering of the J-H you shouldn't have any problem with 13" and I'd go with the dished. ...   07-01-2020 04:17 pm

kart54, You can order a set of cocomats from cocomats.com they based in South Carolina. I think I paid about the same as Disco, at $195 ...   07-01-2020 04:02 pm

I wish mine had looked that good when I first got it. The fuse box was completely gone and there were just wires twisted together ...   06-10-2020 03:48 pm

Well, I don't know how it runs but it sure looks pretty! ...   06-06-2020 05:45 pm

I've found installation of the headlight buckets tends to be a bit of an art as much as a mechanical installation. It's yet another thing ...   05-22-2020 02:47 pm

PF, You were over budget the day you bought your Jensen-Healey. I've just recently spent about 8K on a new paint job and leather interior and ...   05-20-2020 03:34 pm

Brass should work however it is softer than S/S which might make it more susceptible to striping treads. You can usually find S/S wingnuts at ...   05-19-2020 05:33 pm

nrb993, That's a lot of Jensen-Healeys. You know they made other Brit sportscars too, right? ...   05-11-2020 03:14 pm

Be careful Ray, these things just seem to follow you home! ...   05-10-2020 04:29 pm

Ray, I'm a bit confused by your latest post. Is the black car also the key less car? And did you buy that car? ...   05-09-2020 04:30 pm

Dan, Thanks for the update. So often an OP with a problem or project will just stop posting mid thread without a resolution to the problem. ...   05-07-2020 03:33 pm

I wonder whatever happened to the keyless Jensen-Healey, I hope somebody bought it. There are too few J-Hs on the road as it is, I'd ...   05-06-2020 06:00 pm

I remember hearing about the announcement of Donald Healey's all new sportscar. I was quite excited, at the time I was driving a '57 100-6 ...   05-04-2020 02:44 pm

I'm surprised this guy kept the car as long as he did, it doesn't sound like he did any maintenance on it whatsoever. As we ...   05-02-2020 05:00 pm

Just a topic update, I'm sure by now most of us have seen the Wheeler Dealers J-H episode. According to Mike the boys spent $9,198 ...   05-02-2020 04:35 pm

I find the term "Spider" or "Spyder" to be an interesting one. It's been used by a number of manufacturers(Porsche, Alfa, and even a TR7) ...   05-02-2020 04:05 pm

disco, It is amazing with the performance and rarity that you can't seem to give these cars away. The TR6, MGB, and Spitfire to name just ...   04-29-2020 05:49 pm

Tom, You're right, a Spitfire is certainly NOT an upgrade from a J-H, I was considering being mistaken for a Triumph an upgrade over being mistaken ...   04-28-2020 03:32 pm

I was in a parking lot when a guy on a bike came up to me and asked, "Is that a Triumph?" That was a ...   04-27-2020 04:12 pm

mtechwin, Are you the original owner or were you just fortunate enough to buy it from a PO who hung on to all relevant paperwork? When ...   04-25-2020 03:17 pm

metal144, At first I was never a fan of Malaga blue, but I gotta say it's really growing on me. One thing I always recommend, that ...   04-24-2020 03:42 pm

Ralph, When I rebuilt my rear suspension I don't recall the springs being different lengths, however since the J-H has a tendency to sag on the ...   04-22-2020 06:33 pm

Tim, If you've got 400,000mi in Europas you're either small of stature or a contortionist. I'm a bit surprised that being a Lotinista you haven't run ...   04-22-2020 03:54 pm

Just something to think about. I know with engine swap, suspension rebuild, etc. you're aways from getting to the interior but when you do something ...   04-21-2020 04:24 pm

Looks like interior is on the back burner. Typical stuff during a restoration as priorities change. Might be a good time to order any interior ...   04-19-2020 12:40 am

If it's not already the plan, this would be a good time to drop the front suspension so it can be rebuilt on the bench(see ...   04-19-2020 12:35 am

Anybody ever figure out how they painted the damn things in the first place? It seems that any effort to refinish them is either costly, ...   04-17-2020 05:35 pm

I guess tomorrow never came! ...   04-16-2020 10:41 pm

I've had lots of fun with it since the day I drove it home in '93 it just happens to look good now too! ...   04-15-2020 11:36 pm

Dakota, Haven't seen an update on your carpet and seat cover replacement, should I ask? ...   04-13-2020 04:09 pm

Sorry this took so long, had to get my IT guy(daughter)over to post a pic. ...   04-13-2020 01:33 am

The finished product(I hope)! ...   04-13-2020 01:29 am
