HEALEY SILVERSTONE D TYPE 1950

Healey Silverstone D-type, 1950, FIA Id. card.Donald Healey decided to start his small production of high performance vehicles in 1947 at Warwick; undoubtely, the Healey Silverstone has been the club racer's dream for a whole generation: built in only 105 examples, with its spartan light-alloy body and those Lucas headlamps tucked away inside the front grille, the large cycle wings, the simple and strong 2,5 litres Riley engine, the recessed spare wheel as a rear bumper, it was the icon of the British post-war sporstcars! This peculiar example we're offering, has a very interesting history, and still retains its original 1950 registration plate, which was used by its first owner Ernie Wilkinson, who drove it at Dundrod TT on 16.09.1950 and was second overall at Circuit of Iraland of that year! A genuine car with a marvelous BRG livery and a strong and trustable engine!
