Jensen GT (1 0f 511). 

Following the end of production of the Austin-Healey 3000, which Jensen built the bodies for, San Francisco based Austin-Healey dealer Kjell Qvale was keen to find a new model to take to market.He invested in Jensen Motors, making Donald Healey the chairman, and encouraged a joint venture between Jensen and Healey to develop and build the Jensen-Healey two-seater sports car. Production began in 1972 and continued until 1976, turning out over 10,500 cars.In the early '70s, the oil crisis flattened sales of Jensen's large capacity V8 Interceptor. In response, a 2+2 shooting-brake version of the Jensen-Healey sports car was developed and built during the last two years of production, which was known as the Jensen GT (Donald Healey having by then pulled out of the venture). In an attempt to appeal to buyers conscious of fuel consumption it was marketed as “The Good Thinking Car”.Both variants of the car were powered by the new Lotus 907 engine - from the same inline four-cylinder, 16-valve, dual overhead cam family of engines that would go on to feature in the Eclat and Esprit, as well as the Talbot Lotus Sunbeam and a number of Vauxhall DTV rally cars.This 1973cc engine developed 144 bhp, which was respectable for the time giving a top speed of around 119 mph, slightly lower for the heavier GT, but it lacked torque at low revs. It was mated to a Getrag 5-speed manual gearbox.A combination of industrial action and over-extended production capacity brought about the demise of Jensen Motors, going into receivership in 1975 and eventually exhausting the stock of factory parts to build cars in May 1976.In total, 511 Jensen GTs were produced during just under two years of production. The majority went to North America but 230 were sold in mainland UK.
