Somewhere, I have audio & video of Geoff Healey saying, as we examined NOJ
391, the first Austin Healey Special Test car...

"I'm sorry, but we cannot entertain any warranty claims at this date."

After its introduction and use, it was discovered that when working on 
the engine compartment with the bonnet raised, many owners required 
stitches to close mysterious bloody gashes to the posterior of their 
head.  The factory sent out an immediate notice to all owners cautioning 
them NOT to work in the engine compartment with the bonnet in the open 
position.  This defect was immediately corrected and resulted in the 
issuance of the Sprite Mark II.
