Healey Silverstone

Donald Healey created the Silverstone as a pure racing sports car, named after the famous British circuit. Its distinctive feature was headlights mounted behind the grille, protected by the bodywork. Powered by a Riley 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine, it could exceed 110 mph. The minimal bodywork, cycle fenders, and exposed spare wheels gave it a purposeful appearance. Only 105 were built before Healey partnered with Austin, making it extremely rare and collectible today.
