Although not stated in the description, as it is for the Silverstone, the
Healey 4000 is also in the USA. In 2006, I participated in the annual western
North Carolina mountain tour sponsored by the Carolinas chapter of AHCA. Alan
Casavant also participated, driving the Healey 4000 with his little daughter in
the passenger's seat. I would guess he put another 150 miles on the car during
that tour. I didn't see it arrive in Black Mountain from Charlotte on a
trailer, either, although I could be wrong about that.
At that time, my understanding was that the car was to go to the Healey museum
at Virginia International Raceway, but I guess things change.
