Very nice 1974 Jensen Healey. The car sports its original 2 litre, 16 valve, twin overhead cam
Lotus engine and the car has only 87,785 on the odometer. The Jensen Healey is very rare having a limited
production run and in 1974 only 7,142 where produced so you don't see these cars very often. I purchased the car
from a doctor who owned, loved and took care of this rare Jensen Healey for over 30 years.
Mechanically: The car runs and drives great. The car starts right up with no issues or smoke and holds very good
oil pressure. The car was recently serviced which included a tune up, carburetors tuned and balanced, oil change,
new brake master cylinder, new windshield wiper blades. transmission & rear end fluids serviced and all other
fluids toped off. Also, this week a complete new exhaust system was installed. The car shifts up / down through all
gears with no bidding or grinding of the gears. The car drives true and straight and the steering is tight and
responsive. At this time I know of nothing the car needs other that to be driven and enjoyed.
Electrical's: This area is in excellent condition with the following items in working order. Headlights ( high &
low beam ) work , wipers work, front & rear turn signals work, front & rear running lights work, front and rear
side marker lights work, brake lights work, backup lights work, license plate lights work, dash gauge lights work,
radio works, hazard switch works, cigarette lighter works and blower fan works. Note: The stereo was just replaced
this week.
Gauges: All gauges are correct and original "Smith" brand and are in proper working order. The car does also
retains its original Jeager dash clock that works on again off again.
Interior: Nice presentable driver quality as shown in the photos.
Exterior: This is a nice driver quality exterior with like new radial tires. The car sits nicely on the ground
with no signs of leaning or sagging. As seen all body panels, hood, trunk, wheel arches, dog legs and doors are
straight.

Buick GN and GNX will return
Opel Insignia OPC getting facelift. Will the Buick Regal GS see it, too?
Tue, 07 Aug 2012We've seen spy shots of the base Opel Insignia wearing facelifted front and rear ends, and now it appears that the more potent OPC version will be benefitting from a nip/tuck, as well.
The front bumper has been redesigned, incorporating new air intakes - toned-down versions of the model's signature fangs - as well as a new grille. Out back, there will be minimal changes to the overall fascia, most likely stuff like slightly redesigned taillamps, and inside, these spy shots show a larger navigation/infotainment screen sitting atop the center console.
This is all well and good for the Insignia, but we're wondering how these changes will impact North America's Buick Regal GS. No, it may not share the same powertrain punch as the Euro-spec OPC, but visually, the cars are nearly identical. When questioned about possible changes for the GS, a Buick spokesperson told us that the automaker "can't comment" on any changes at this point. Even so, we wouldn't be surprised if some small changes come our way in the next year or so.
J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
