1949 Healey 2.4 Litre Beutler

The Healey Beutler is a unique and rare automobile that combines the mechanical prowess of the British Riley 2.4 liter powered Healey with the coachwork of the Swiss firm, Carrosserie Beutler. The story of the Healey Beutler is closely tied to the collaboration between renowned British automotive engineer, Donald Healey, and Carrosserie Beutler, a Swiss coachbuilder. Donald Healey is best known for his involvement in creating sports cars like the Austin-Healey and the Austin-Healey Sprite. One such collaboration led to the creation of the Healey Beutler.

Carrosserie Beutler, based in Thun, Switzerland, was a well-respected coachbuilding company known for its craftsmanship. The firm was established in the 1920s and gained a reputation for creating bespoke bodies for various chassis, including those from prestigious automakers like Porsche and Alfa Romeo.

The Beutler’s were famous for their Porsche designs and made various versions produced between 1947 to 1949 the same time the Healey Beutler was built. Two Healey chassis, drive train’s and running gear was supplied by Donald Healey to the Beutlers in 1947 and they produced a drophead and coupe which was first shown at the Geneva Auto Show in 1949.
