This 1962 model's last inspection sticker ran out in July 1978. Body work was done and then car went into storage. After oiling the cylinders, removing and cleaning the fuel tank and replacing the fuel pump, it started. Runs well with good oil pressure and does not smoke or overheat. Still has the correct 29E engine. Replaced the clutch master, slave and hose. Clutch works fine and the trans shifts in all gears. Replaced the brake master, both rear wheel cylinders and all brake hoses. Car now drives and stops OK. Will still need a complete service before driven on road. Engine and trans oils have been changed. All body gaps are good, but I know nothing about the body work. Floors appear to be original with no holes. Frame looks good with very old undercoating. Front crossmember has usual jacking damage (dents). Front seats were redone in vinyl a long time ago. All gauges have good faces and chrome rims. Speedo works, but tach needs a new cable. Combination gauge works both oil and temp. Windshield is good with no cracks. Side curtains are new, but brackets are missing. Has a spare wheel that is not shown. Was originally red with a red interior. Overall a good example of a rare 1-year Healey. Mileage is unknown.
