This 1955 Austin-Healey was delivered new in the USA and purchased by the previous owner in Victoria, British Columbia in 1995. It was then restored between 2004 and 2014. It is finished in Carmine Red over black and powered by a 2.7-liter inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. The car is equipped with twin SU carburetors, a tilting windshield, a banjo-style steering wheel, a black soft top, and painted knock-off wire wheels. Recently acquired by the selling dealer, this BN2 roadster is now offered in Washington with a British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate, a tonneau cover, side curtains, a tool roll, records, historical documentation, and a clean Washington title.

The car was hot-dipped and refinished in Carmine Red at Coachwerks Restoration in Victoria, British Columbia. It is equipped with a black soft top, a tilting windshield, and chrome brightwork.

Photos of the restoration process are provided in the sale.

The 15″ painted wire wheels are secured with winged knockoffs and mounted with 5.90 Dunlop Road Speed tires. A matching spare is mounted in the trunk.

The bucket seats are trimmed in black leather with red piping, and interior appointments include a chrome grab handle, lap seatbelts, and door pockets.

The banjo-style steering wheel frames Smiths instrumentation consisting of a 120-mph speedometer, a 6k-rpm tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 31k miles, approximately 4k of which were added under current ownership.

The 2.7-liter inline-four featured dual SU carburetors from the factory for a rating of 90 horsepower and 144 lb-ft of torque. The selling dealer notes that the engine was rebuilt by Victoria, BC Healey specialist Roy Moore.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission with overdrive. The transmission and differential were rebuilt during the restoration.

The British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate lists the factory equipment, colors, serial numbers, and production dates.

The sale includes a tonneau cover, side curtains, a tool roll, records, historical documentation, and past bills of sale.
