Truly a rare and legendary motorcar, the BN2 versions
were the next generation in the 100 series with a total
of only 3,924 examples produced for the 1955 model year.
Commonly known as the "four bangers", a major change
for the BN2 was the introduction of a true four speed
transmission. Due to the limited production numbers, the
BN2 has become more desirable and collectable...
Qualifier-Colorado Grand & California Mille. This
particular BN-2 Healey
is a wolf in sheep's clothing, power is a special race
engine from Jay Leno's Shop that came out of a race car
that was reportedly never beaten...
The updated engine has been rebuilt by the current owner,
features include Dennis Welch
aluminum "Westlake" cylinder head, Carrillo rods, steel
crankshaft, roller camshaft, roller rocker arms, custom
header & exhaust, 45 DCOE side-draft Weber carburetor
and oil cooler, all running through a Toyota 5 speed
transmission and limited slip differential...
A very
solid & rust free body/chassis, nicely re-finished
paint/trim/interior; Fitted with an aluminum boot,
equipped with top/side curtains w/bag, tonneau cover, new seats, chrome 72 spoke wheels, radial tires, front
disc brakes, rear drums, rebuilt shocks and front/rear
sway bars...
In
closing, this one
speaks for itself... step up, strap in and find a
road-course :-) |
