This lovely-looking Phase 2 MKIII was purchased by the vendor in 2003 and then treated to a 'nut and bolt' restoration by Yorkshire Restorations that reportedly included: a bare metal respray, transmission overhaul and engine refurbishment. The opportunity was taken to upgrade 'MKC 967F' to fast road specification with balanced and gas flowed engine, competition overdrive and uprated brakes. Finished in the classic combination of Ice Blue over Old English White that's teamed with the original Blue leather interior, carpets and weather equipment, this pretty four-owner example is now being sold complete with documented history, radio, Moto-Lita steering wheel and spot lights. The Healey's history includes an appearance on the TV programme 'Heartbeat' and the vendor believes but does not warrant the indicated mileage of 50,587 to be genuine.

PLEASE NOTE: The vendor has informed us that this vehicle appeared in the TV series Heartbeat on several occasions and was a favourite of the show's director.
