Lastly, this BN1 utilizes later Healey 3000 BJ8 front disc brakes and rear drums.

Later on, a new tonneau cover was fitted, the heavy-duty lever-action shock absorbers were rebuilt by Apple Hydraulics and new leather seats were installed.

This BN1 is turn-key and eligible for many of the world finest tours and events. It is complete with its soft top, tonneau cover, side windows, jack, wheel hammer, spare wheel and BMIHT Certificate.
