Some classic cars just have the right feel about them. That elusive and somewhat nebulous ‘rightness' usually comes from a totally original timewarp example or a car that has been correctly restored to the highest standards. This Healey has this quality in spades.

It's an original British-market. right-hand drive 3000 Mk1 in its original colour scheme of white with red interior and dark red hood and side screens.

Its last keeper owned the car from 1986. Shortly after purchasing it he commissioned a total bare shell. nut and bolt restoration in Germany. We have a full photographic record of the restoration from start to finish comprising of 50 pages. The photographs detail in depth the standard and scale of the restoration. from a bare blasted shell showing the superb standard of metalwork repair. through the rebuild and refinishing of all the mechanicals. to the final fit and reassembly.

Of course the proof is in the pudding. and in the flesh the quality of this car's restoration cannot fail to impress. The underside is perfect with just a thin film of clear wax to protect yet hiding nothing. The panel fit is exceptional and the paintwork superb. But the quality of the restoration shines through in the places you can't easily see. as is always the case.

The interior is gorgeous and beautifully trimmed. The hood is superb and the side screens brand new.

Mechanically this Healey wants for nothing. Having covered just 5000 miles since restoration it's just nicely run in and drives wonderfully.

When you consider what it would cost to buy and restore a Healey to this standard this particular represents superb value for money. It's one we would like to keep for ourselves.
