I had several people ask me to post the photos of this Healey. We
spotted this car at California Healey Week at Lake Arrowhead in
Sothern California. From what I remember this was the first time the
car was at a Healey Meet. Have not seed or heard about it since.
I have posted some photo on our web site in the photo gallery section.
The detail is pretty amazing
Enjoy
