Roughly 10,000 were produced at\u00a0West Bromwich, England. A related\u00a0fastback, the\u00a0Jensen GT\u00a0was introduced in 1975.<\/p>\n With the demise of the\u00a0Austin-Healey 3000, car dealer\u00a0Kjell Qvale\u00a0was looking for a new product to replace it. He entered into discussions with\u00a0Donald Healey\u00a0and Jensen Motors, who had built the bodies for Healey’sAustin-Healey\u00a0cars. Kjell Qvale became a Jensen shareholder and Donald Healey became the chairman. The Jensen-Healey was designed in a joint venture by Donald Healey, his son Geoffery,\u00a0William Towns\u00a0and Jensen Motors. It was hoped that Healey could help to contribute the sense of style that made the Austin-Healey a hit. The unitary body understructure was designed by Barry Bilbie, who had been responsible for the Austin-Healey 100, 100-6 and 3000 as well as the Sprite. It was designed to be cheap to repair, with bolt-on panels, to reduce insurance premiums.”<\/p>\n Source: wikipedia.org<\/a><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\nAdditional Information on the Jensen-Healey Sports<\/h2>\n
