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 2.5-litre Riley I-4 engine and four speed manual transmission.[3] ProductionThe 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)[4] from 33.33% to 66.66% in 1948, Healey realised he was in trouble.[3] He decided to make a high performance car that was under £1000. The result was the Healey Silverstone.[3] Production ended in September 1950 when it was replaced by the Nash-Healey. DesignThe Silverstone was designed by Len Hodges.[5] Hodges rounded the back of the car and pulled it out slightly from the sides. A slot was cut out of the rear to house a tyre. Since the tyre was protruding out of the car, it acted like a bumper. There was very little luggage space. It was a two-seater with a very light body. It weighed only 2,100 pounds. This made it suitable for motor-sports.[6] The 1949 Silverstone(D-Type) was a little bit less wide and the cockpit was a bit uncomfortable. The 1950 Silverstone(E-Type) was a bit wider and has a more comfortable cockpit. By making the E-Type wider, the car was very successful on the track[6] Competition historyThe Silverstone has won many competitions including the 1949 Alpine Rally or Coupe des Alpes where the car was driven by Donald Healey and Ian Appleyard. Another win was in 1951 when Peter Riley and Bill Lamb won Belgium's Liège-Rome-Liège Rally and in 1951 Edgar Wadsworth and Cyril Corbishley again won the Coupe des Alpes. Other notable placings included Peter Simpson's 6th place overall in the 1951 Isle of Man Manx Cup Races. The Silverstone had a top speed of {{Convert|110|mph|0|abbr=on}} and a 0-60 mph (97 km/h) time of 11 seconds, which rivaled other cars.{{Vague|date=February 2019}}[5] {{-}}Notes1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=http://www.howstuffworks.com/1950-healey-silverstone.htm|title=1950 Healey Silverstone|newspaper=HowStuffWorks|accessdate=25 December 2013}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 {{cite news|url=http://rileyrob.co.uk/specs/healera/healey4.htm|title=Healey Silverstone (1949-51)|accessdate=31 January 2014|first=|last=Rileyrob}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite book | last = Wood | first = Jonathan | authorlink = | title = Ultimate History of Fast cars | publisher = Parragon Publishing | series = | volume = | edition = | year = 2003 | location = | pages = 34–35 | language = | url = | doi = | id = | isbn = 1-40541-593-2 | mr = | zbl = | jfm = }} 4. ^The exchange rate GBP to USD was £1 = $4.03 from 1940 to September 1949 5. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z9355/Healey-Silverstone.aspx|title=1949 Healey Silverstone|newspaper=conceptcarz|date=September 2008|accessdate=25 December 2013|first=Daniel|last=Vaughan}} 6. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z1669/Healey-Silverstone.aspx|title=1950 Healey Silverstone(E-Type)|newspaper=conceptcarz|first=Jeremy|last=Mullen|accessdate=25 December 2013}} References{{reflist}} 3 : Cars introduced in 1949|Cars of England|Roadsters |
