Hello  all,



Today at just after noon EDT, BN1L 158893 burst into life  again after being
silent since 1965. This car broke a gear back in '65  which actually 
probably
saved the car. It was removed from the road at that  time, seems to have 
been
completely stripped down to almost every last nut  and bolt during the
1970's, but everything was carefully catalogued and  stored. I first saw the
car in 1988 when a close friend and I went to see a  "BN1 Project for Sale".
My friend bought it, moved 3 times, got married had  a family, and 
approached
me in 2000 asking if I could help him sell it as  he'd never get around to
doing the car. I bought it myself, and moved it  all again. In 2006 a new
club member had been looking for a Healey and  wasn't having much luck with
all the overpriced junk out there so I sold it  to him as a project  on the
condition that we would build for him.  

The car is finally about finished except for the many bugs and  trouble
shooting that inevitably comes with the territory. She's all black  with
almost all of her original persimmon orange and red interior, red top,  etc.
She's a stunning piece of  Healey.
