1953 Nash-Healey Roadster for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1953 Nash-Healey Roadster is a used car showing 57,100 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in Black with a Tan interior.

The Nash-Healey married a Nash six to a Healey chassis, and from 1952 its body came from Pinin Farina in Turin; by the dealer's count this is one of 314 roadsters bodied there. The design went on to a third place overall at Le Mans in 1952.

This car was sold new in the United States in 1953 and came to the Netherlands in 2005. It was fully restored there in 2015 for its last owner, to factory specification and with great care, and has been driven very little since. The seller describes shining paintwork, an interior in excellent order down to the gauges, and an engine that starts readily. The restoration book comes with the car.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Nash-Healey Roadster uses the 252 cu in (4.1-litre) Nash straight-six with twin Carter carburettors, rated at 140 hp, with a Borg-Warner three-speed manual gearbox with overdrive, driving the rear wheels. The widened and reinforced Healey box-section ladder frame came from Warwick, and Pinin Farina's Adriano Rabbone redrew the body in steel for 1952. In 1953 it cost 5,908 dollars in the United States, nearly twice the price of a Corvette.

FAQ

This Nash-Healey Roadster in the European market

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

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands. The dealer quotes it as: VAT included and not reclaimable: sold under the margin scheme. 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.

How much did this Nash-Healey Roadster cost new?

The manufacturer's base list price was €5,074 in the United States, excluding options. This car is advertised at €139,500, 2649% above that figure. A list price is the launch price of the version without options, so a heavily specified car left the factory above it, and it says nothing about what the car is worth today. That 1953 list price is converted to euros with no adjustment for inflation.

Who is selling this Nash-Healey Roadster, 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 Nash-Healey Roadster 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 Nash-Healey Roadster 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.
