Chassis no. HBJ8L32843. Golden Beige with red top over red interior. 2912/150hp, 4-speed with overdrive, centerlock wire wheels, Nexen tires, red cloth boot cover, heater.

Evaluation: Recently restored by Healey Lane. Very good paint and chrome. Even gaps. Spotless interior. Fully restored underneath with no stones left unturned. A gorgeous fully redone Big Healey in unusual but attractive colors.

Bottom Line: There were five Austin-Healeys in Vegas this year and all of them sold reasonably well. This car was the best example, though, and was deservedly the most expensive. It sold for a similarly strong $79,200 at Mecum Monterey in 2019, but in 2021 it seems just about every collector car out there is selling for more money, even cars that have been traditionally quiet like Big Healeys.
