The Healey Silverstone is an open two-seater road / racing sports car, or in the USA roadster, that was made by Donald Healey Motor Company. The Silverstone had headlights behind the grille to make it more aerodynamic. It was designed to be a dual purpose "race and ride" car. It also had a 104 horsepower 2.5L Riley I-4 engine and four speed manual transmission.〔 〕 == Production ==
The Silverstone was made at a factory in Warwick, England. They were hand-built and only 105 were produced. When the British government doubled the purchase tax on (luxury) cars over £1000 (US$4000)〔The exchange rate GBP to USD was £1 = $4.03 from 1940 to September 1949〕 from 33.33% to 66.66% in 1948, Healey realized he was in trouble.〔 He decided to make a high performance car that was under £1000. The result was the Healey Silverstone.〔 Production ended in September 1950 when it was replaced by the Nash-Healey.
