This Austin-Healey BN2 is the personal car of a well-known marque specialist.

It has been modified with the installation of a 289-cid V-8 Ford Mustang High Output engine that has a 600 Dominator intake, four-barrel carburetor, special headers and exhaust system. The power is transmitted to the rear wheels by a professionally installed five-speed Ford Mustang full syncromesh gearbox.

The engine compartment is fully lined with stainless steel and the louvered bonnet is held in place with a buckled leather strap. The Austin-Healey is fitted with disc brakes in the front and drum brakes in the rear. The instrument panel houses modified British gauges.

Donald Healey designed a clever folding windshield that lays nearly flat, giving the car an even more rakish appearance. Fog lights and wire wheels also add to the visual appeal. Go anywhere and show the car at breathtaking speed and with solid handling.
