According to the Heritage Certificate. the car was originally LHD. was built in 1961 and went to Gibraltar. coming back to this country via Germany.   In the late 80's it was prepared by John Chatham to go rallying.   However. the owner found that it was difficult to get an entry in classic rallies with a Healey. as there were so many of them being entered. so sold it and prepared a Zodiac. I believe. instead!  He sold it in 1991 to my landlord.   I went to view the car with him and fell in love with it at first sight and have been trying to buy it since. eventually succeeding in 2013.

During my landlord's tenure. the car was raced a bit. being prepared and looked after by Dennis Welch Motorsport.   It's not an out-and-out racer. so is very nice to drive on the road.   In fact it's a huge amount of fun and the LSD contributes in no small way to that.

I've spent a considerable amount on the bodywork.   It's been completely resprayed. wings off. new half doors and sills and has been rust proofed underneath.

I'm reluctantly. though. selling the car as I have now bought a four seat car. so the whole family can go off together. and can't afford both.   Sadly.  

Please come and see the car.
