Boy, that car would be hard to miss or forget if it did turn up somewhere.
Not only does it have a stunning interior, they got the exterior paint
scheme right, too!

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
