The car to this day remains in its original colours of Colorado Red on Black interior with Red piping and features an original works hardtop as a very desirable addition, useful to extend your Healey driving season!
This car is presented with good paint featuring a deep shine, aluminium bonnet and boot, nice chrome and recently new wheels and tyres. The car drives beautifully owing to significant works carried out by the current owner with ourselves at significant expenditure including full chassis strengthening and optimisation, a complete suspension and braking overhaul.

The car has a excellent aesthetic with its contrasting black original hardtop, bonnet pins, side exhaust and genuine Lucas spot and fog period lamps. Inside, the car has a removable roll cage, which still allows for the rear seats to be used for storage. The car also benefits from a map light, auxillary power source and Retrotrip meter.
We have known the car over twenty years, having serviced it every year with continuous improvement works over the last few decades. The service history paperwork details back to 1980.
