Spécial coupé Healey 100 series BN1 1954 11/january - Chassis 150649 Engine 1B/205420 Body 1383

Back Bruno contribution

Comments of BrunoVerstraete : I went to have a look at this Healey Coupe.It can be seen and bought at the Galerie des Damiers in Cassel. The car was made for a Belgian by Demola Carrosserie and is definitely NOT a Warwick built car! The Works coupes were not of the fastback type and were designed by Gery Coker and built by the factory. One of the cars was used by Donald Healey as his daily transport and had been modified with a  100S engine. Photo : Spécial coupé Healey 100 series BN1 - 1954 -11 / january N° 150649
