This Big Healey was built on Novermber 18th 1966 and. like the majority of its kind. was exported to the United States to be sold through a dealer in Saint Louis. Its Heritage Certificate confirms that it was supplied in its current colour combination of Ivory White with red trim and optioned with wire wheels. overdrive and a heater.

Fast forward to 2006 and the Healey was looking rather sorry for itself at Gullwing Motor Cars. New York. It had been off the road for a number of years. Following its sale the car was brought back over to the UK and completely stripped down for a full body restoration and right-hand drive conversion by The Northern Healey Centre.

This was an extensive rebuild that involved a total disassembly and rebuild of the body with a new chassis. then a full repaint. We have a photographic record of that rebuild plus all bills so you can see the quality of the work and the result is a Healey that's just as pretty underneath as it is on top. The paintwork is superb and the chrome excellent.

Naturally all mechanical components were rebuilt or replaced as required and. after five years work. the Healey saw the road again in 2011. staying with the same owner until we acquired the car.

Interestingly this Healey has been built with long-distance touring in mind – a new hard top in contrasting black has been fitted. the rear seats deleted and the area behind the seats trimmed out as a space for luggage. This works extremely well as with a spare wheel in the boot. there's precious little space for anything else. With red carpeting and upholstery in superb order. an original steering wheel and an unmarked dash with all gauges working as they should. the interior is a wonderfully atmospheric place to be. rain or shine.

The result is a marvellous looking Healey that drives extremely well indeed with great performance and relaxed high-speed cruising thanks to the overdrive gearbox. A great contender for long-distance touring events.
