1950 Healey Silverstone D-type for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1950 Healey Silverstone D-type is a used car. It is equipped with a manual transmission.

It belongs to the 51 early D-type Silverstones, and its racing life started in Kenya. From 1950 until recently its successive owners used it in motorsport, before it was restored back to its original specification.

A very complete history file comes with it, including period photographs, and the dealer notes that it is eligible for the Mille Miglia.

No photographs of the car itself have been published by the dealer yet; the listing is marked as expected.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Healey Silverstone uses the Riley 2,443 cc Big Four four-cylinder, with two camshafts set high in the block, short pushrods, hemispherical chambers and twin SU H4 carburettors, rated at 104 bhp at 4,500 rpm and 179 Nm at 3,000 rpm, 0 to 60 mph in about 7 seconds and 110 mph, with a four-speed Riley manual gearbox driving a live rear axle. Len Hodges drew the aluminium body over a ladder chassis with cruciform bracing, and the car weighs 940 kg. The front uses trailing arms with coil springs and an anti-roll bar, the rear a torque tube with a Panhard rod, and Lockheed drums do the braking.

FAQ

This Healey Silverstone in the European market

Can this Healey be bought in the Netherlands and registered elsewhere in Europe?

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: Len Hodges drew the aluminium body over a ladder chassis with cruciform bracing, and the car weighs 940 kg. Cross-border purchase is normal for this kind of car, but the documentation, the certificate of conformity, transport and the registration rules of the destination country all have to be settled with the selling dealer first.

Who is selling this Healey Silverstone, and how does a purchase work?

Gallery Aaldering, a professional dealer in Brummen, Netherlands. LUSSO lists the car and passes enquiries to that dealer; the inspection, the negotiation, the invoice and the transfer of ownership all take place directly between the buyer and the dealer. LUSSO does not hold stock, take deposits or act as an intermediary in payment.

Can this Healey Silverstone be inspected before purchase?

The car is at Brummen, Netherlands, and an inspection is arranged with the selling dealer. Buyers based in another country commonly appoint an independent inspector or a marque specialist rather than travel. Ask the dealer for the service record, the number of previous owners and any accident history, with supporting documents for the information stated in the listing.

Is this Healey Silverstone still available?

LUSSO republishes what the selling dealer advertises, and a car in demand is sometimes reserved or sold before the dealer updates its own site. Confirm current availability with Gallery Aaldering before travelling or committing funds. An enquiry sent from this page reaches that dealer directly.

What is needed to register this car if it does not stay in the Netherlands?

A cross-border registration normally requires the vehicle registration document, the certificate of conformity or an equivalent type-approval record, the purchase invoice showing the VAT treatment, and proof that any tax due in the destination country has been settled. Temporary export plates and transport insurance are arranged either by the dealer or by the buyer. Requirements differ by country and should be confirmed with the selling dealer before payment.
