1947 HEALEY ELLIOTT SALOON
participated twice in the Mille Miglia
$80,000
READY TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY EVENT
1947 Healey Elliott, 2 time Mille Miglia participant
This rare Healey Elliott came in the country with Donald Healey and his brother Geoff as a spare car during their promotional trip from New York to Hollywood. The car was not used during that trip and later sold to a doctor in Georgia who drove the car for years. He later donated the car to the Protsman family's museum at Stone Mountain, Georgia. In the mid-1980s, it was offered for sale and acquired by "Whit", who transformed the car into a vintage race car. Amongst other events, the car participated in the Vintage Fall Festival in 1990, and in the second Colorado Grand that same year. It raced in the SVRA, VSCCA, and VRG events. It has also appeared at the Baltimore Burn Prevention Foundation and the Radnor Hunt Concours.
In 2013 the car changed hands, and from that time we were responsible for her prep and mechanical health. During that ownership, the car participated in the 2014 Ennstad Classic in Austria. After that event, the car was prepped for the 2015 Mille Miglia, where it was received very well. The car finished both events without a hick up. Prior to get the A3 (standard, restored) FIVA certification, the original dash was reinstalled and most of the roll bar removed, which was necessary to get the FIVA certification and to participate in the Mille Miglia.
After the 2015 MM the car changed hands again, and another customer took the Elliott to Italy for the MM in 2016, where she again finished. Part of the preparation for the event was installing a new interior with green leather (with adjustable lumbar seat backs), and opening and restoring the sunroof, installing a new headliner, and installing an electric cooling fan. A custom aluminum tunnel was made over the transmission and double U joints.
The 2016 MM was another successful event, but oil pressure came down more than we wanted, so the engine got a complete overhaul after the car returned to the USA. With support from Healey expert Warren Kennedy in the UK, some minor and major upgrades were made. New connecting rods with shell bearings were installed, as well as new pistons. The head was completely overhauled and chains and tensioner replaced. Dema Elgin restored the cam shafts and the oil pump was rebuilt with new gears. A new water pump and clutch were mounted, and after that the brakes were serviced. There was some noise coming from the drive shaft bearing, so that was replaced as well. On the safety note, a plumbed in fire suppression system is mounted with nozzles towards the SU carbs and driver. A electrical kill switch is installed on the right (driver's) side. Also, the front hoop under the dash of the roll bar remained in place, and harnesses were installed for the driver and co-driver.
Only 101 Elliott Saloons were ever produced, the body shaped out of aluminum. The X frame is shared with the Westland, Silverstone and the Duncan Drone and is made from steel. Less than 25 Elliotts are believed to remain, and only a handful are believed to be in running order. The drivetrain is Riley. The 2.5 liter pushrod twin cam is a powerful and reliable motor, which is mated up to a Riley 4 speed transmission and rear axle set up. All proven concepts that work well, and long. The front end is a swing arm set-up, for which Donald Healey borrowed landing gear parts of an airplane.
Obviously, the car is in excellent running order. It starts up easily and shows power and torque through a wide rpm range. The sound is what car enthusiasts are craving for. A had turner from a long distance. Brakes are more than sufficient. The car is ready for another MM, in fact, if the car does not sell, the owner may very well take her to the Mille Miglia in 2025 again.

1972 Lotus Europa S2, type 74 This Europa was delivered in 1973 to the first owner in Canada. The car originally was blue, and was raced later on in Canada. It had 5 owners before it was sold to the current owner in the USA. Import documents and Canadian owners list are in the pictures section. After the car was purchased in the summer of 2013, the car was directly delivered to Lotus and Vintage racing specialist Lee Chapman Racing in CT. There the car was transformed to a high level race/rally car. The original chassis was removed and a new Spyder chassis from the UK was installed. That chassis was further developed by Chapman to fit his high standards, and racing demands. The motor was extracted and shipped to Marcovicci-Wentz, where it was stripped and transformed to a dry sumped high performance motor. Amongst the usual performance parts, a new modern casting cylinder head was used, ported, and flow tested. The engine output was dynoed at 202HP before it was shipped back to Chapman's shop. There it was mated up to a 4 speed, cable activated Renault NG gearbox. The half shaft were custom half shafts with two U-joints. A race clutch was installed on the lightened flywheel. Later on, Ken Baurle sourced a 5 speed Hewland MK9 transmission with LSD form a Formula Mazda which was installed. The tail housing is from an Air cooled Formula Super Vee. The two half shaft were replaced with half shafts with CV's. The shift mechanism was altered and the cable mechanism removed. A new custom dash was made by modifying an old Nascar dash panel. The lay-out is very simple (sic) and consists of the following Autometer gauges: Tachometer with tell-tale and rev limiter, oil temperature gauge, volt meter, oil pressure gauge, fuel pressure gauge and water temperature gauge. There is also a SPA design analogue gauge with oil P. and T. Clearly marked switches are on the left side of the steering wheel. A switch for the wiper motor, and window washer fluid pump are in the mid-section of the dash above the tunnel. Both are functional, although the car comes without wipers. The windscreen can be defogged through the holes on top of the dash. The car is equipped with serviceable custom-built Koni coil over shock absorbers, and the Europa has disc brakes on all four corners. The front brakes are from a Triumph TR6. Sway bars are installed on both front and rear suspension. The suspension is fully adjustable. She weighs under 730 kg, as she sits now. Pictures of the car on the scales, are provided in the gallery. The fuel tank was replaced with a Fuel Safe container with a bladder and foam. A Facet low pressure pump, with Holley fuel P. regulator, are installed next to the tank. The fuel- and oil lines are all braided, with AN fittings. The flexible brake line sections are AN braided SS as well. The brake system has two master cylinders, each with its own reservoir. The brake bias is set at the pedal balance bar. Cooling is taken care of by a custom aluminum radiator in the boot, as well as an oil cooler in the same area on the opposite side. Both have electrical fans. The engine is fueled by 2 Spanish 45 DCOE webers, and the spark is initiated by a Pertronix distributor, and amplified by an MSD box. A custom four in one header system flows into a straight open exhaust pipe. An Anderson clamp is installed at the rear to hook up an auxiliary starter battery. The Gel battery is installed in the passenger's side foot well in front of the fire bottle. A MyLaps transponder is hardwired and mounted next to the window washer fluid reservoir. Safety equipment consist of a SPA 4 liter fire bottle (AFFF-AR) that can be activated from the driver's compartment and from the outside. Three nozzles are directed to the fuel pump area, to the driver's side and towards the Webers. Two kill switches are installed as well. The safety harnesses are a six point Schroth FIA approved cam style on the driver's side, good until 2027, and a 5 point system Schroth that has a date of 2021 on it. Both are cam style. The car is equipped with an extensive chassis mounted roll cage, with plated extensions at the rear into the engine compartment, also fitted to the chassis. The doors are marked with the chassis number 2246R, and stripped. The passenger's side door has a Lexan window that can be clipped open. Driver's side door has no glass. The windscreen is made of Lexan as well. Front and rear tow hooks are installed. The body was modified to accept wide 9-inch rear wheels, and painted white. The boot and bonnet are secured with locking push pins. The bonnet hinges, the boot comes off, and does not hinge. The car has minor scratches and minor flaws in the paint, visible on the pictures. The car comes with a clean Illinois title, 2 log books, and all documents shown (and more). If you are interested in this car, please take the time to read all the provided information from Lee Chapman and Marcovicci-Wentz in the gallery.
