Vehicle Detail

If you are wanting a low mileage Big Healey from California that has an older restoration but still looks fantastic and has only 3,000 miles on it this is the car for you. You can take this fine example of a British sports car to any car show or cruise along the coast highway all the way to Monterey with out any problems. I believe I am the 3rd owner Previous owner had the car for 32 years or more. He bought it in San Diego and its still here!Pervious owner did full restoration that was done over 8 years using original nuts, bolts, washers, clamps and fastenersWhen completed it sat in private show room from 1992-2010. Less than 100 miles was on the restoration when I bought the car. I have driven about 3,000 miles over four years or so.Odometer reads 23,657 I believe it is correct within a few thousand miles. It does not appear to be 123,000. The windshield does not have a lot of chips etc. It appears to be the original glass and is in excellent condition. Especially since the car was in 2nd owner's possession since the 1970's and he did not drive it at all. Comes with British Heritage Certificate.I have the original 48 spoke wheels plus the chrome 60 spoke No rust issues Rebuilt motor with 175 psi all 6 cylinders New master cylinder New shocks Rebuilt steering box 4 speed with overdrive Front disc brakes New top Side windows Workshop manuals Photos of restoration I may advertise it locally and reserve the right to end auction early. more photos here- http://bugeyeparts.com/photo/albums/1957-100-6-healey-big-benOn Feb-10-14 at 05:33:35 PST, seller added the following information: I have been asked to display photos of interior so they have been added at this link, scroll to bottom of the page on the link.http://bugeyeparts.com/photo/albums/big-ben-interiorOn Feb-10-14 at 05:46:25 PST, seller added the following information: The VIN number is VIN BN4L-O- 41832Mileage is 21,198 as of Feb. 10, 2014On Feb-10-14 at 18:15:53 PST, seller added the following information: Big Ben, as our family has named this 100-Six Healey was assembled in the Longbridge plant in May 6, 1957.
