A superb looking matching numbers Austin Healey which has undergone a ground up restoration over many years. A plethora of photographs and invoices are on file that show the extensive works undertaken. These include a new chassis and reconditioned steel monocoque from Orchard Restorations as well as new lightweight aluminium wings and aprons by the same company. She looks resplendent in Aston Martin racing green.

The engine has been rebuilt with lead free valve seats and rebuilt SU carbs. The differential and gearbox have been rebuilt with new bearings. The braking system and clutch are new. There is a full double tonneau,hood and sidescreens with new trim and carpets. The interior has black leather seating. The car has been completely rewired with a new loom together with a new distributor and benefits from a recon starter motor and dynamo .The instruments have been restored. A lovely car with many lightweight panels as a homage to the lightweight Healeys of the period and with it`s side exit exhaust this lovely car sounds as good as it looks.

Suitable for many historic rallies. Why not give them a try?
