Details

Total nut and bolt rotisserie restoration by Healey Lane Restoration of Oregon using the National Austin-Healey Club concours standards as a guide. This Healey was bought new in San Francisco and the owner used the car until just a few years ago. The car comes with a British Motor Heritage factory Build Sheet and the original California Black Plates that came on the car when new. This Healey was rust-free, had no accidents and was a great car to restore. The chassis and body panels were stripped to bare metal and premium primer and PPG base coat/clear coat was used for the striking black finish. The restoration included a complete rebuild of all mechanical parts including engine, transmission, rear end, carburetors, front and rear suspension, radiator and brakes including new steel body length brake lines, clutch and all hydraulics. All electrical components are new or rebuilt including wiring harness, voltage regulator, all relays, generator, starter and rebuilt turn signal and horn assembly. The interior includes leather seats as original, new premium carpet, wood steering wheel, top, side curtains and trunk liner kit. All rubber parts are new, new windshield, new or re-chromed trim and 5 new chrome/stainless steel wheels and tires. All the original fastners, brackets, carburetor and linkage were zinc plated. Many suspension parts, brackets and top of frame were powder coated for durability.
