A three owner car, it was originally sold here in Buffalo, NY, and was subsequently sold to an engineer at Kodak who spent a lot of time and money rebuilding the engine and preserving it. Purchased in the 1980's, and lovingly restored, color then changed to Healey blue, new blue interior in correct leather with light gray piping, and new 48 spoke wheels. In 2007 the car suffered minor body damage when the roof of the building it was stored in collapsed. Over the next two years a professional body off rebuild, including new paint, trim, some chrome, windshield, steering wheel, trafficator, etc. Totaling over 12k This car runs, drives and stops excellently.
