  Hmmm.
  The car I saw in Malaysia (whatever it was!) had a lot of the same parking
and brake light assy's and the same steering wheel and some chrome trim bits
that my BT7 has..... and I think if I remember correctly, it had some similar
dashboard components. (maybe I'll never know what it was.... (Mongrel??)). -Or
maybe it was altered, as you said.

  I have one of the few survivors. My Sportsmobile doesn't appear to have one
single part that is in common with any Austin Healey. These cars are the
rarest all the "production" Healey cars. I have not seen one Sportsmobile that
is close to original, however. All of the survivors (the German one, the Swiss
one, the Argentine one and mine) do not have original designed interiors
either old nor restored. All have updated tail lights too.Mine has a painted
grill because the previous owner was too cheap to rechrome it. All the others
have chrome grills.  Mine does run well, however. I doing a show rerstoration
on mine.
