It features walnut-veneer dash, wind-up windows and 150hp engine. The original 2.9-liter inline-6 engine and 4-speed manual transmission with overdrive runs and drives smoothly. Improvements to the engine include a fully upgraded triple Weber carburetor kit and a bespoke side exhaust system, designed and fabricated by television host Ant Anstead. Together these give this classic big Healey the rich full sound it deserves. The brightwork is outstanding and the brand-new red leather interior is fantastic. The spotless engine bay and undercarriage are proof the previous owners loved and took meticulous care of the car.
