About this lot
- Remarks:
- >> Here you can literally acquire a unique classic, a 'once in a lifetime'. This very special Austin-Healey comes with a Rolls-Royce 4.1-liter six-cylinder, and of such a "4-Litre" only ten bodies were made from the factory. Of these, three have been used effectively/officially; one is based in Switzerland, one went to Australia, and the third was once owned by British racer Joe Cox, but is currently on display in the Dutch Austin-Healey Museum. The great link with Rolls-Royce comes from Donald Healey, who went there when British Leyland only wanted to continue with MG. _ _ _Wat we are allowed to offer is the unofficial fourth. Equally developed in collaboration with Donald (and Geoffrey) Healey, however, it has been taken even further and which Joe Cox said is a much-improved version over the other three. It will be, including; a widened Austin-Healey 100-Six chassis, three carburettors, electronic 1-2-3 ignition, a Jaguar four-speed gearbox (with overdrive), a 'Louvre' hood and, for example, special oil from Porsche North America (which, unlike European variants, keeps the temperature 15 degrees lower). _ _ _ It's an absolutely exceptional top-classic, and its specific composition makes it unique. Moreover, it is in extremely well-preserved and well-cared for condition, thanks to a leading connoisseur of the Austin-Healey house, with insanely few 'miles' (03,609) on the odometer and in the nice 2+2 configuration. As an indication, a relatively recent valuation report estimates this pearl at 250,000 euros. You are welcome to admire & inspect this extremely exclusive roadster for yourself; but only through a specific reserved viewing moment (in Belgian North Limburg). _ _ _ _ _ So, this lot only shows slight signs of use (or during the viewing 'Viewing day' you can form a possibly important opinion of your own), and is further provided with; 1 SET of keys, its old British license plate and some nice history. The certificate of the last technical inspection is still valid, and can be presented on request. _ _ _ A place on that Viewing 'Viewing Day' is therefore mandatory to reserve, and this must initially be done by e-mail via info@HaspengouwClassics.eu (in exceptional cases we agree on another time). _ _ _ In this exceptional case, the Pick-up is in Belgian North Limburg, and in order to ensure a smooth process, it is also mandatory and timely to request (via the same e-mail address, in the first instance). When it comes to old-timers, project cars, cars that stand still for a while or special vehicles, remember that you are well prepared. In exceptional cases, we can suggest transport. All dates are subject to change.
