Description

It was sold new in Sweden in April 1962 by Förenade Bil in Malmö. The odometer shows 37,677 miles, but the car was delivered new in Sweden. The explanation comes when you read the “Certified Copy of Factory Record” that accompanies the car. There we see that it is an American export version that ended up with a dealer in Düsseldorf, Germany, and from there to the importer in Sweden, Förenade Bil AB. The first owner was presumably a happy law student named Edward in Lund. He drove the car for one summer, and the following spring, master hairdresser Bergqvist bought it. The Healey then passed through five owners—all in the Malmö area—during the sixties before landing with the car dealer Malmö Bilexpo in 1972, a company then run by the current owner’s father. The car was part of the dealer’s collection for a few years, and in 1979 he transferred it to his wife Hjördis. They owned, cared for, and fixed it together; note the drilled lightening holes in the hood latches and the protections around the radiator. The car was only used for short pleasure drives, mainly in Skåne, and today the Healey has only covered just over 6,000 miles. Eventually, Hjördis passed the car on to her daughter in 2008. The most recent and final approved inspection was done on May 31, 2019.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The big six-cylinder engine starts easily and smoothly, preferring a bit of choke and temperature before driving. On the road, it behaves as a Big Healey should—slightly front-heavy with its truck-sized engine, but the sound, the wind, and the small, simple windshield make the experience pleasantly stripped-down and open to all the elements. The manufacturing certificate from England, shown in the pictures, also lists the factory-installed equipment, including a laminated windshield, adjustable steering column (tilted, for big Americans), and an overdrive.??

  • Interior condition:

    Nice and pleasantly worn leather interior, good carpets, patinated wooden steering wheel, and stylish instruments. The car was delivered with a miles odometer, given its status as an American export version, but no inspection has ever remarked on it over the years. That’s how it is sometimes. The original tool kit includes a jack, hammer, and large wrench for the central nuts of the wire wheels.

  • Exterior condition:

    Older paint in beautifully patinated condition with a few classic small blisters at the rear fender edges against the body. There’s also a small touch-up on one rear fender and minor scratches here and there. This all adds to the car’s user-friendly spirit, its charm lies in just that. Furthermore, there’s a fine and undamaged blue vinyl soft top, a tonneau cover, and screw-on side windows. Additionally, it comes with a fine, undamaged, and rare hardtop in a dark blue color.

  • General condition:

    In contrast to a shiny, meticulously restored Healey 3000 that wins awards at shows and gatherings, this example is for the connoisseur with a good dose of self-confidence. It boasts a wonderfully untouched condition, very low mileage, and an exceptionally fine history.??

For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
