Autosport 2006, Coys (14th January 2006)
This particular Healey, with its original registration of 869 TPB was manufactured in 1961 and is an original right hand drive UK car.869 TPB has always been, to the present owners knowledge, a race car and has been campaigned successfully throughout its life, most recently in the Scottish historic championship, combining in three Scottish championship wins in 1992, '93 and '94 as well as the road going class of the Austin Healey club race championship during the mid 1990's, culminating in the Moray Motor Museum Trophy award for the outright class winner presented by David Coulthard in 1994. The car is finished in red and is described by the vendor to be in good condition with the chassis being very original and extremely sound. The engine is a Ruddspeed running on triple Webers feeding through a centre change gearbox - mechanically the car is described as excellent. The car is also fitted with a roll bar, works style hard top, fire extinguisher, rear spotlight, cut-off switch, twin fuel pumps, oil cooler and race harnesses. The car also comes complete with a V5 certificate, a file of bills and receipts, a works rally style boot lid, original seats and a Halda Speed Pilot trip computer, originally fitted to ex-works Healey 67 ARX which, incidentally, is also part of the private collection where 869 TPB currently resides. This car represents a very good opportunity to purchase an original race prepped Healey that is eligible for many important international events on the historic calendar.
