This automobile was designed by Donald Healey in England at the request of Nash Motors, USA. The coachwork was designed by Pinin Farina of Italy. The drive train was made of Nash components - frame, suspension, 6-cylinder motor, transmission and rear end. The 140 horsepower engine was a 250 cubic-inch 6-cylinder Nash engine with an aluminum high compression head, performance cam, and a three-speed Borg-Warner overdrive. The Lemans designation was used after Nash-Healey took first place in its class at LeMans in 1952. The coupe style was awarded first place in design at International Concours d'Elegance in Italy.
This automobile is the first of only 60 built in 1953 with production ending in 1954. This sports car is a blend of English, Italian, and American talent. | |
