Sellers description:
Registered in the UK in September of 1992, this car has had just one owner since it landed on UK shores some 26 years ago from the USA. It has been the subject of a rolling restoration practically from day one in the UK by renowned specialists, primarily, the UK Healey Centre Ltd of West Yorkshire who have lavished attention on this car throughout with many thousands having been spent to make it exceptional. There's too much to list here, but rest assured no stone has been left unturned and anyone wishing to come and see this car in the flesh will be given time to pour through the two big binders of documents, receipts and invoices relating to this car.

When first put to British roads in 1992 the MOT registered the car at 75,327 miles. This climbed to 78,872 in 1997 before being zeroed in 1998. The mileage now reads 37,00 miles with all MOT's to prove the accuracy of these readings.

Presented in solid Opalescent Silver Blue with good quality blue leather seats, blue carpets and leather-stitched steering wheel. This very reliable Austin Healey has performed admirably on annual European road trips over the past 20 years, and as such, it benefits from sympathetic upgrades and features which suit long distance touring such as the front spots, map light and overdrive gearbox. It further boasts good quality wet-weather equipment with a tight-fitting soft-top roof and full deck tonneau.

We're not presenting this car as a 100 point concours contender because to do so misses the point of what this car is. What is on offer here is a very pleasing, well-sorted, stylish and capable 60's sports car which one would be proud to own and that is ready for immediate use at a very palatable price.
