This is a very rare item. The Austin Healey is usually found in cream or red but there was also a blue edition with red seats but it is extremely difficult to find and only a few must have been produced.

Here is one and whilst it has had a replacement screen and steering wheel fitted, and someone has touched up the paintwork in the past, it is a genuine blue original. The base has not been removed and the colour of the original paint under the wheel arches shows that this is the real thing.

It has taken years to find this so it is certainly not a model which can be sold cheaply. In fact it is difficult to put a price on this as there are none that I can see to compare it with. As an investment or for the collector who has this space in a collection, though, here is an opportunity to acquire a rare model.
