This 1953 Nash-Healey Roadster was brought to the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $110,000-$140,000. The lot was offered without reserve. It is powered by a 242 cubic-inch Dual Jetfire six-cylinder engine rated at 140 horsepower. There is a three-speed transmission with overdrive and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. It is fitted with numerous factory options such as dual fuel pumps, push-button ignition and whitewall tires. Its steel body is painted in red befitting its Italian heritage. It was treated to a restoration and in 2005 was invited to the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in honor of Carrozzeria Pinin Farina's 75th anniversary. At the conclusion of the auction, the lot had been sold. | |
