Kevin: Congradulations!!! There is no finer feeling than finishing the restoration (although we are never really finished) and those first drives. It almost equals the proud father syndrome and it is usually well deserved. Now you will find out that (with the amount of people commenting that they owned one or had a friend who owned one) the ACTUAL production figure for the Austin-Healey was in the neighborhood of roughly 2 million cars.
