Hello Collectors this is a 1951 Nash Healey made in England by Donald Healey. there were 104 total made in 1951 all roadsters ( with windows).there are about 60 left and this one Is #104 the last one of that year it has a 6 cylinder over head valve Nash engine, standard trans with electric over drive and closed drive line. I am just finishing frame up restoration on it.the body, hood and trunk lid are aluminum and the doors are steel. the color is an original 1949 Nash color sunset maroon.I need help identifying what the widow regulators are from as when the car was made they used parts off many different makes instead of making their own.next post will be photos of the regulator. hope you enjoy and thanks for looking.
U think u could squeeze a ford 429 in that little honey,,, like a cobra ....lol love it..
Love the sunset maroon ( much better colour than champagne ivory in my opinion ) ! Have you checked the window regulators used for the Austin-Healey 100 ?
WOW! When I 1st saw it, I thought it was like my '62 Austen Healey Sprite I had in the later 60's. Don't think I had window regulators but the thumb-screw, slip in place sliding windows but maybe I'm thinking about my 1950 MGTD. Thanks anyway for bringing back old memories. Fun cars that!
thanks George and blunderbuss2, yes we have checked all Healey and Nash with no luck yet. I have found in my Chilton body shop book from 1946 to1952 a picture of a regulator from a 1946to48 Chrysler Town and Country that looks real close .need one in my hand to compare. thanks for the help
The back looks kind if like a "Bug-eye" Sprite but pretty sure that didn't have regulators either.
