Yes, I did a little research on it, Looks like they put out HP in the mid 140's or so, probably about what my 140 puts out. I am sure they must also be a few hundred pounds lighter, closer to the ground etc. A bit more sporting, eh. Doubt a 164 would have been able to stay with it either similar Hp but even more weight and roly-poly. I'm running sport springs, poly bushes, sway bars and Bilsteins along with upgraded brakes.
I don't mind it was just nice to chase.
I also realized I spelled it wrong, should be Jensen-Healey. Time has been kind to the looks I think. they look better than a Spit or a Stag, though not as good as the TR's or the Italians, (Alfa and Fiat)
