This "Big Healey" features the desirable BT7 four-seater layout and was recently partially restored by a Healey specialist. The restoration involved work on the suspension, including new shock absorbers, and the exterior received a full repaint in the iconic "Colorado Red with Ivory White" color scheme. A detailed documentation file accompanies the car, providing a complete overview of the restoration process, which also includes an extensive record of labor hours.

Restored and in neat condition

The bodywork remains clean, with well-aligned panels and good fitment. Additionally, the underside presents neatly, and we invite you to view the detailed undercarriage photos on our website. Furthermore, the black interior creates a stylish contrast and is in lovely condition. Chrome details are beautifully maintained, demonstrating the care and attention this Healey has received over the years. The original steering wheel, correct instrument gauges, and neatly finished carpets complete the elegant interior.

Legendary Driving Experience
Under the hood, the powerful 3.0-liter inline-six engine starts effortlessly and runs smoothly. The five-speed gearbox with overdrive shifts seamlessly, ensuring a comfortable driving experience. Producing just under 140 horsepower and featuring a lightweight chassis, this "Big Healey" delivers a dynamic performance with exceptional cornering stability – exactly what made this classic so legendary. If you’re a fan of Tears for Fears, you might recall spotting a Healey like this in the "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" music video – a true nod to its iconic status.
