A chap I worked with in Leamington Spa bought a second hand Jensen Healey in 1975. Talk about fast! Unfortunately after less than a year he was forced to sell it because it just fell apart, it was one thing after the other. Like you said it was a rushed job & it suffered unreliability because of that. The looks have stood the test of time, a beautiful design.

Thanks Rob. A very enjoyable video. It occurs to me that if there is a William Towns archive out there, it would be ideal for the Record Office to acquire as a complement to the Healey archive.
