G'day Scott
Many thanks for letting everyone know.
I see that the seller lists it as having a C-type chassis as used in the
Silverstone. For the sake of being a pedant the Silverstone used the Healey
"D" or "E" type chassis. These were shorter than the C-type as the
Silverstone did not have the rear overhang.
The car in question has chassis number C1881 and started life as a Healey
Tickford saloon. No doubt way back when it was far cheaper to have the
current body fitted than to go through the very expensive restoration of a
alloy over timber coachbuilt body.
Going for 5,000 Quid is not a bad price, but I wonder what the reserve is.
It would be a lot of fun to drive and far quicker than a standard AH100.
Have a look at http://www.healeyowners.co.uk/ for more information on real
Healeys.
