Overview
Overview
The chassis was based on the original, but used engine, gearbox, front end and rear axle from a 1972 Volvo 142. To make this possible the car had to be made 14 cm wider than the original. The Hult Healey, as it was known, was first registered in the late summer of 1984. They also started to make kits based on their design. Up to 1990 they had made and sold 35 kit cars, and four complete cars. In 1987 they made an update Mk2 model with a more racing design using a Volvo B23 engine giving 250 hp. The body weighed just 50 kg. Only three Mk2 Hult Healys were made.
