DETAILS

Built between 30^th June and 1^st July 1959, YFO 847 is a very rare, original right hand drive two-seater (BN7 model). Well optioned with wire wheels, a heater and overdrive. Finished in its very classy original colours of Ivory White with Red leather seats featuring contrast Ivory piping, Dark Red wool deep pile carpet, Black wet weather gear and Aluminium Silver wire wheels.

As one of just 68 1959 original right hand drive two-seaters made this is a very rare and desirable Healey, much coveted for its simple unadulterated shape and additional focus over the 2+2 models. The two-seat models were the very same used by the works race team and featured a stiffer rear bulkhead structure and improved handling balance.

Externally the car presents very well with good condition brightwork and paintwork and good body gaps owing to original body panels. A set of period-correct twin Lucas spotlamps are fitted up front plus bullet wing mirrors. Wheels are wider rims with the excellent and very grippy Avon ZZ 185 tyres.

Inside the interior presents extremely well with new carpet and a new spare wheel glove fitted in 2026, the leather seating is in excellent condition and like the carpet a very attractive dark red colour. A period Moto-Lita 15” is fitted.

Rawles Motorsport has known YFO for several years now, with a major 2023 overhaul and service by Rawles Motorsport including full grease up, oil change and electrical service plus fitment of 123 ignition mappable distributor and rune. In 2026 we have made further improvements to the car and upon sale the car will be further checked over.

Supplied serviced with MOT, history file, British Motor Heritage Certificate of authenticity and more.
