A THING OF BEAUTY

There are several milestones in a car’s complete restoration, and the best ones are usually on the “downhill side” – the reassembly where things start to look like a car again and the light at the end of the tunnel begins to shine.  The freshly painted drivetrain, ready for re-installation, must certainly be one of those milestones, and we passed that point a few days ago.

The Austin A90 engine has seldom been singled out as one of the more exciting engines, either cosmetically or performance-wise, but to a true Healey enthusiast, it has a unique inner and outer beauty.   Therefore, presented here for your viewing pleasure, is the drivetrain of the RHD BN2 Le Mans project that continues to make good progress.

1955 was a very good year and in some ways, now 65 years later, it looks even better.
