Description For
sale, an attractive big Healey that always has been garaged and is in excellent
mechanical condition. Its’ Colorado red paint overall is very good with only a
couple of minor flaws. All lights, gauges and overdrive work. Comes with top
and tonneau covers in excellent condition and a British Heritage Certificate. Carefully
maintained by myself and its previous owner, John Saccameno, who owns and operates
Sport and Specialty, a well known and highly regarded Austin Healey restorer in
northern Illinois. It was his personal car for 23 years until he sold it to me
roughly 3 years ago. Sport
and Specialty rebuilt the engine, including new pistons. Additional
work done by S & S includes the following:
- Transmission rebuild, front to back.
- Carburetor rebuild with a complete distributor update.
-
New oversized aluminum radiator.
- New oil and water pumps.
-
New clutch.
- New
wiring harness.
- New
interior, including Kool mats.
- Rebuilt
generator and starter.
- Replaced
the voltage regulator.
- Equipped the car with new wire wheels and
tires.
- Installed new rear bearing seals and universal
joints. John
put only 1,500 miles on the car after all his work and I have put roughly 4,000
miles on the car since buying it. The car is a strong, good-looking runner that’s
a lot of fun to drive. I
unfortunately will not be attending Conclave 2024 in Elkhart Lake, WI because
of a conflict but the car is located less than 2 hours south of the event and
pretty much enroute from Chicago to Wisconsin. If interested, I can make the
car available for a viewing and test drive. |
