Solved NIC#398 - 1951 Healey Special (Duncan rebodied as Silverstone)
« on: May 03, 2015, 01:41:11 PM »
What are we looking at here? I require full details of this car for a point. All is not what it seems. (Don't bother checking the registration plate details - they are no longer valid.)

A rebodied Healey Duncan. A Healey Special by Jarvis
The chassis was from  a crashed Healey Duncan ( Tulip Rallye: 1951) and got the "Silverstone" body. The rebuild was done by F.E.  Jarvis of Norwich, the body was not an exact Silverstone copy, the car is believed to have been scrapped.

I didn't expect this to be solved that quick! Everything you say is correct, and the point is yours.

It is not a Healey Silverstone, but a rebodied Healey Duncan with a Silverstone-like appearance.
