This is a genuine UK RHD car personally exported from London (where it was purchased by the first owner, Mr A Harel) to Mauritius (via Tanzania) where it spent about 15 years (registered as A 562). Mr Harel owned the car until 1958 and then it had 4 subsequent owners who were Navy officers serving at HMS Mauritius. The car was then bought back to the UK in 2014.
The car is very solid and has all its original panels. It appears to have been repainted in about 1970/ 71 (according to invoices), its original colour being Healey blue. A fantastic history includes every invoice/ receipt/ MOT dating back to 1970, as well as the original Mauritius and UK logbooks and the car still wears it’s AA Tanganyika (now Tanzania) badge. Last serviced by Pennant Classics in October 2025 with over £1, 700. 00 spent.
