About this car

An early post-war Healey, powered by the 2,443cc Riley twin-cam four-cylinder engine with a four-speed manual gearbox and Healey's independent front suspension. The Elliott was the marque's fast closed car: a Healey Elliott managed roughly 110 mph at Jabbeke in 1947, remarkable for a production four-seater of the period.

This example is finished in blue and silver with a blue interior and is right-hand drive. The listing says it was fully restored by Classic Restorations in 2016 and remains in excellent condition, with 1,000 miles shown. It is described as eligible for the Mille Miglia.

The dealer's text also discusses the Abbott drophead, which only arrived in 1950, so the car's exact body and chassis identity are worth confirming against its documents before purchase. No registration or ownership history is given.

Weight, top speed and 0-60 left null because no confirmed factory figures exist. Widely quoted speeds come from 1940s speed runs, not published specs.).
