Hi,
The main picture on the Jensen Healey page shows a car with non standard wheels - could it be changed for a more representative picture?
Thanks Dave — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.145.73.192 ( talk) 22:02, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
They both look like better examples - thanks for that Dave.
There is a list of cars that an editor thought should be used as comparisons as collector cars. First of all, the information is unsourced. Second, the editor is making a random comparison of vehicles without information on model and year. And, per the Sports Car Market price guide, the Jensen-Healey is nowhere near the others in collectibility. The Jensen-Healey has a D-F collectibility rating with a price range (in US dollars) of $6,500-$10,300. By comparison, the Aston Martin DB6 listed has B-C rating in the price range of $412,500-$899,600. They are not comparable under collectibility by any stretch of the imagination. I removed the section once, and it was restored, so I am bringing it to the talk page for other editors to weigh in. Bahooka ( talk) 15:17, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

I am responding to a third opinion request for this page. I have made no previous edits on Jensen-Healey and have no known association with the editors involved in this discussion.

I believe the dispute in question is mainly on this diff. I'd suggest not including comparison with other vehicles if it's not been compared by a reliable source like a major car magazine. Even in those cases, only include if it adds something notable. For example, if an old antique vehicle is being compared to a modern classic and some interesting facts come up, it can be included but not to show that a vehicle is better than the other.

According to a number of car classic magazines (like AutoBILD classic for example), the main reason for the demise of the J-H and Jensen as whole was the Lotus engine which tended to fail quite often causing Jensen to come up for fixing/replacrment of the units. Already being plagued by insufficient funds, Jensen eventually went into folding the business - while Lotus was able to sort out the problems with the 907, greatly improving the reliability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:560:424D:BE00:1C80:446F:7F33:A1FC ( talk) 19:31, 7 December 2018 (UTC)
