1961 Austin-Healey Bugeye

Nut and bolt restoration of a California Black plate car. Wonderful. Very few miles since restoration. No rust or rust repair ever. All sheet metal, floors, and welds original. All numbers matching as documented by British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certificate (see photo). Originally delivered new in Los Angeles, California where the car lived its entire life. Beautiful Healey blue metallic over black leather interior. Excellent condition paint. Flawless chrome. Comes with tonneau cover, removable black top and frame. This gorgeous Bugeye was the star of a USBank commercial. A link to the video is provided on this page (or copy and paste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4M0oa9k-8M ). The car can also be seen in the photos of the film set on the streets of Burbank. Fun to follow this little beauty as the object of desire in the USBank commercial and it is easy to see why one would have such a hankering. This Bugeye creates spontaneous street gatherings and everywhere she goes smiles erupt and cell phones come out for photos and videos. We have serviced the front brakes, installed new wheel cylinders, wheel bearings, and brake shoes. All fluids and filters have been changed. Additionally, we replaced the bushes in the rear suspension, as well as the the rubber bushings in the front suspension. This car is turn-key ready to be enjoyed. An opportunity to own one of the funnest classics out there with a conversation-starter history. Notes: 1. The last set of photos show the car on set in Burbank for the film work. The before last set of photos are a photo documentary of the engine rebuild, courtesy of Dan C. 2. California black plates were issued up to 1969, when they were replaced by blue plates, and stay with the car they were originally registered with if the car stays in California, even if ownership changes hands. Proof thus, of a car that has always lived in dry California. 3. Oil filter has been upgraded to spin-on oil filter. The original oil filter housing comes with the car.
