Car was at auction 3/18
online.handh.co.uk/m/lot-details/index/catalog/84/lot/40244/
Not sold.

Auction description:
Registration No:688 UYY
Chassis No:BN7-LO/2463
MOT:March 2019

- 1 of just 2,825 two-seater cars made

- Matching chassis, engine and body numbers

- BMIHT Certificate, highly presentable, overdrive and full weather equipment

According to its accompanying British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate, this particular example was built to left-hand drive specification on June 29th-30th 1959. Factory-fitted with a heater, overdrive, adjustable steering column, laminated windscreen, sealed beam headlights, wire wheels and Roadspeed tyres, the two-seater was supplied new via Hambro Trading Inc of Philadelphia. The vendor repatriated the 3000 on the understanding that it was 'a true survivor that had never rusted or been abused'. Believed but not warranted to have covered 28,000 miles from new, the BN7 was endorsed by its previous keeper as follows: 'Drives wonderfully, quick and tight, overdrive operates well, quiet transmission, good oil pressure, a great car in great condition. I have owned over thirty Healeys in my lifetime and this car is one of the best'. Pleasingly able to boast matching chassis, engine and body numbers, it is now UK road registered as '688 UYY'. Repainted in Colorado Red and retrimmed in Black leather and vinyl with matching carpets, the 3000 remains highly presentable. Rare and desirable, this BN7 is worthy of close inspection and comes with a fresh MOT certificate.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
