Have I got it wrong or did Jensen Motors have something to do with the production of the Healy 3000 ?
It sticks in my mind that my Dad had something to do with the car when he worked there.

In 1970's when Austin Healey was discontinued Healey joined with Jensen to produce Jensen-Healey

You're right Jim, I was told that the workforce didn't like the J-H at all and it showed in the poor quality of the car.
No, it was the 3000, perhaps later models, that I was told Jensen's did work on.
