About this car

The Healey Silverstone was Donald Healey's cycle-winged, road-legal club racer, and only 105 were built between 1949 and 1950. This car is one of ten Silverstone continuation cars modified by Classic Restorations, which is why it can carry a 1951 registration despite the original production run having ended the year before. It is built to E-Type specification, the later and slightly wider version with a bonnet intake and a roomier cockpit.

Power comes from the Riley 2.4-litre four-cylinder with a four-speed manual gearbox and rear-wheel drive, in a light aluminium-bodied car with right-hand drive. It is finished in white with a tan interior and shows 4,159 miles. The page lists it as FIVA-papered and notes the model's Mille Miglia eligibility. It is offered with no VAT to pay.
