Delivered new to Central Garage, Bradford in June 1954, this BN1 was purchased by the late owner at a UK auction in July 2000. At that time the car was described as fresh from a five-year, body-off, last-nut-and-bolt restoration (undertaken by Healey specialists Perfect Nostalgia) and came with bills totalling in excess of £25,000. The engine, gearbox and overdrive were said to have been rebuilt, and the car also featured new interior, seats, carpets, door trim, and hood. While in the late owner's care the car has been maintained in running order and was driven recently by his executors; it will, nevertheless, require re-commissioning, while the paintwork has deteriorated over the course of the last 19 years and would benefit from refurbishment. Finished in Healey Blue with matching leather interior and hood, the car is offered with a history file including British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Production Certificate, restoration invoices, and photographic record, and a V5 registration document.
