This 1975 Jensen-Healey Mark II JH5 Convertible is a rare and engaging British roadster, one of only about 7,000 produced globally between 1972 and 1976 by Jensen Motors Ltd. of West Bromwich, England. Positioned between the Triumph TR6 and Jaguar E-Type, the Healey offered a compelling blend of performance and luxury, praised for its 50/50 weight distribution and Lotus-designed alloy powerplant.

Finished in British Racing Green over brown leather, this example shows just 39,941 miles and benefits from a 10-year prior restoration by the previous owner. It is powered by a 2.2L stroked version of the Lotus 907 engine, featuring high-compression pistons, an upgraded Euro-style Dell’Orto dual carburetor setup, and an additional oil cooler, delivering lively performance and a distinctively spirited driving character. A recent complete fluid service—including oil, brakes, differential, and transmission—ensures the car is well-sorted and ready to enjoy.

This JH5 is equipped with the desirable 5-speed Getrag dogleg manual transmission, introduced on later models along with a range of mechanical and visual updates such as impact bumpers, a viscous fan clutch, a redesigned upper radiator hose intake, catalytic converter, and improved emissions equipment. Unique JH5/Union Jack badging replaces the earlier Jensen logo on the front wings, further distinguishing this special variant.

Accompanied by its original jack and tools, as well as a car cover, this Jensen-Healey is a rare opportunity to own a Lotus-powered classic British convertible with low miles, strong mechanicals, and timeless style. Fun to drive and increasingly collectible, the JH5 delivers a uniquely engaging experience from the golden era of open-top motoring.
