Chassis H-BJ8-L/32757 was built on the 15th September 1965 and was supplied into the USA via Philadelphia as detailed by its British Motor Industry Heritage Certificate.

A matching number car that was painstakingly restored by its previous owner with a full photographic record in 2008. Not unusually, as this was a ‘dry state’ car there was little to no corrosion prior to restoration and judging by the photos only one sill required replacement, all other body panels are original.

The quality of its restoration has stood the test of time with the mechanicals, bodywork and chrome work all in very good shape.

Recently upgraded to include Air-Conditioning, a David Craig cooling system and 3.5 ratio differential.

The car was imported into the UK in 2017 by it’s current owner, and enjoyed between the UK and his home in Spain. The current owner is a very experienced and knowledgeable classic car owner that has continually improved and maintained this Healey during his ownership and reported that it drove back from Spain to the UK without fault.
