Comments from the seller

PRICE CHANGE This beautiful Healey has spent the last 2 years undergoing a full paint and panel resto and stacks of mechanical work as listed below. New stainless exhaust system New alternator Electronic ignition fitted Engine mounts replaced Wheel bearings replaced Suspension bushes all round Gearbox mount replaced Engine steady bar replaced New fuel pump More efficient 7 blade fan fitted Rebuilt brake calipers New brake wheel cylinders New brake pads and shoes Boot lid seal replaced King pin bushes replaced Carbies rebuilt New sump gasket New rocker cover gasket Replaced Track rod end boots Denis Welch performance air cleaner Full respray including inner guards and underbody sealed All gauges refurbished and calibrated by instrument specialists. The Heritage certificate shows the car as a North American export, so she has been spared the rust issues of UK cars, and is completely rust free. As with many car enthusiasts, time to enjoy, and space to store are limited, so the hard decision had to be made to let the next custodian look after her.
