3 X SU HS4 Carburetors/238 bhp
4-Speed Manual Transmission
Hydraulic Front Disc and Rear Drum Brakes
Odometer: 501 Miles Showing

• One of Just 355 BN7s Produced
• Documented Factory Heritage Trust Certificate
• Only 500 Miles Since Highest Quality Restoration

The Car: Our consignor, who has owned a number of Healeys over the years, says this is the best driving example he has ever driven, PERIOD! Treated to a full restoration, the car has under 500 miles since the work was completed. With all three of the SU carbs working in perfect unison, this BN7 delivers that neck-snapping power promised when it was new. Finished in ivory, the interior is done in red with ivory piping and looks so inviting you will just want to jump in. The chrome wire wheels sparkle in the daylight and at night, a pair of Lucas road lights illuminate the way before you. Under the hood appears to be much nicer than when new, with attention to perfection being the order of the day. All body panels are laser straight with proper gaps, and the bottom of this car is cleaned and detailed to the nth degree. You will want to get behind that big wood-rimmed steering wheel and enjoy the road with this BN7, but we do suggest that maybe entering it in a few shows first and filling up a shelf or two with trophies would be more fitting for this outstanding example.
