The smartly-presented lefthand drive BT7 is finished in Cream over Blue and was originally dispatched from the factory in May 1959 to Detroit, Michigan. We are informed it was purchased in New York during 2013 by the previous vendor as a rust-free example and then restored over a two-year period including a new interior, hood, carpets and wire wheels. More recently '788 XVA' has received a new fuel tank, carburettor overhaul, oil change and rear brake overhaul plus the addition of a new spare wheel and tyre. Offered with heritage certificate, collection of invoices and although exempt an MOT certificate into November 2018, this handsome Healey is currently described by the vendor as 'very good' with regards to the paintwork, bodywork, engine, interior and gearbox.
