Vehicle Description
Sunnyside Chevrolet of Elyria, Ohio in conjunction with Greg's
Sports, Classic, & Muscle is proud to offer for sale this beautiful
1956 Austin Healey 100 BN2
Let's start by saying this Healey 100 was judged Concours Gold at
the National Healey event in September of 2017. To achieve a Gold,
we know from personal experience, this car had to score over 960
out of a possible 1000 points. Rarified air. It's a beautiful car
that has seen occasional careful use since that time.
The quality of this 100 is evident throughout. The paint is in
exceptional condition and one would be hard pressed to find even
minor use flaws. The interior is equally good, done with quality
materials to a very high level. The
underside and engine compartment are very clean and crisp. The
chrome is very nice, the top, side curtains and tonneau cover are
all present and very, very nice.
To quote the owner restorer of this car: This Healey was purchased
in 2012 and it went through a 5-year, 100 percent restoration. The
owner/restorer has a mechanical background with a degree in
Mechanical Technology and consulted with "top Healey experts" in
the world when need on the restoration. Every mechanical component
was disassembled and restored and rebuilt. There are many
photographs documenting the restoration and all numbers match with
original tags.
Some further high points; crankshaft, king pins and axels all
magnafluxed for safety, no lead valves installed and engine block
hot tanked at 850 degrees overnight, all running gear balanced, all
new wheels and hubs, transmission rebuilt by Quantum Mechanics,
stainless hydraulic lines, seats and tonneau cover by Autoweave
Upholstery in Denver, and much more... The final paint was done by
a 'professional high-end painter" in Urethane and wet sanded and
buffed to a wonderful finish.
I have personally had the opportunity to drive this car a few miles
and having driven literally hundreds of Healeys over the years this
car performs among the best I've driven and runs and drives spot
on.
This beautiful Healey comes with an owner's handbook, correct tool
roll and jack, a box of restoration receipts, the two Concours Gold
Certificates it attained and the judging sheets. Also included is a
Heritage certificate indicating this car has been faithfully
restored as it was built by the factory.
If you are looking for a high quality BN2 (one of just 4604 BN2
Healeys built) to drive, show and or just in general, enjoy this
may very well be your car.
Drive it, show it, keep it in a bubble and polish it as a prized
possession, the choice is yours once you make it yours.
