JENSEN JENSEN-HEALEY Rare

As of 2026 Q1, 450 JENSEN JENSEN-HEALEYs remain registered in the UK — a genuinely rare sight on today's roads. Numbers are at their highest recorded level since the model first appeared in our data in 2014 Q3. Unusually, the numbers are actually rising — up 2 (0.4%) over the past year, as imports and barn-finds rejoin the register faster than cars leave it. Tellingly, 43% are declared SORN — kept off the road in garages and barns rather than driven, the signature of a car being looked after rather than used up.

About the JENSEN-HEALEY

Austin-Healey was a British sports car maker established in 1952 through a joint venture between the Austin division of the British Motor Corporation (BMC) and the Donald Healey Motor Company (Healey), a renowned automotive engineering and design firm. Leonard Lord represented BMC and Donald Healey his firm. BMC merged with Jaguar Cars in 1966 to form British Motor Holdings (BMH). Donald Healey left BMH in 1968 when it merged into British Leyland.
