It appears that it is nothing more than a "home" restoration, likely not many
cars to compare in his area. When you look at the photos under the bonnet,
there is a saucer of some type between the two carbs, the windshield washer
reservoir is missing as is its bracket, the brake/clutch reservoir is attached
at an irregular angle, the heater line that goes to the right side of the
engine block is coming through a hole in the middle of the bulkhead, various
rubber grommets and plugs are painted red and on and on.
Judging by the other cars and tractors being auctionned off, very few
benefitted from a total restoration and none fared any better than the
Austin-Healey.
