This Healey…

Delivered shiny new to Los Angeles, California in 1959, this all matching numbers Healey has always been on the West Coast. In the mid 1980’s, it went from California to Alaska, where it was last registered in 1991. The Roadster continued to be well cared for, remained dry, sound, complete and accident free. (It did receive a colour change, red with black interior, white soft top.)

In February, 2005, this 79K mile, completely original Healey was brought to Seattle, Washington. There it received a fully documented, Gold Standard professional, frame-off, nut & bolt restoration. The Heritage factory record was sent for, received, and followed in order to bring the car back to its exact original 1959 specifications.

Rare removable Hard Top Included

Austin Healey was one of the few manufacturers to seriously consider the construction of their removable hard tops.
