1953 | Healey 2.4 Litre Abbott

HEALEY ABBOTT

1953, Sports suspension with large drum brakes, 2.5 liter, 105 hp, traditionally manufactured aluminum body on an ash wood frame. Only 77 of these cars were built, one of only 25 known vehicles in the world and certainly one of the best. The car was in a collection for years. In 2023/24 the electrics, mechanics and braking system were carefully revised. According to the previous owner, the engine had already been overhauled by a Riley specialist. We performed a compression test and a visual inspection of the cylinder liners. The engine runs with good oil pressure and full power. The ignition and carburettor system were overhauled with new parts, and the alternator and fuel pump were replaced. The tank has been repainted on the outside, cleaned and sealed on the inside. The starter was overhauled, the radiator descaled, all hoses replaced. The body was dismantled, stripped of paint down to the bare metal, and a new paint job carried out. The interior (leather) and the carpets were completely renewed and the upholstery was refurbished. The top was replaced. Bumpers, grill etc. re-chromed, exhaust system in stainless steel.

The car has TÜV and German classic car approval, DSMB (German Motorsport Federation) car pass and FIA car pass for participation in motorsport competitions (e.g. Mille Miglia). There is extensive photo documentation of the work carried out.
