Yes, that much would be correct. However, after the statement quoted below, I
received this from another source at the auction house:
--------------------------
Steve , Good Afternoon.
My name is ??????---------- and I do quite a lot of work for Silverstone
Auctions preparing catalogue entries and helping to sort out the inevitable
mistakes that occur when a dozen or so people are under pressure to close a
catalogue with 200 cars.
I am 67 and have owned a number of big Healeys including an early 100/4 with a
competition history,(which I bought in 1966), so as a 'Marque' enthusiast, I am
as keen as you to ensure that what we commit to paper is accurate. I have read
------------ response to you and it's patently completely inaccurate, however,
he does not claim to know what he is talking about, and is too young to
remember the ins and outs of the Donald Healey Motor Company. In fairness,
having had a quick look at our vendor's 'Entry Form' there are a number of
claims on there which Richard took at face value but which now may be incorrect.
The CCA catalogue has now been printed so it's too late to change that, but we
can change the Website and issue a 'Saleroom Notice' prior to the auction.
I propose that I have a good look at the information provided to us by the
vendor and form some opinions. I will share these with you and see what you
think. It's patently obvious that you have considerable knowledge of the
subject and, I guess, we will be guided by you, but as I said, it appears the
vendor is under the impression that what he has told us is correct and the team
were excited to be handling a car with such provenance.
If it appears that the car, although a stunning example, is not what he
claimed, then we may have to revise the 'monetary value', which may not go down
too well, but, given your information, we are obliged to correct any statements
we have made and we are keen to ensure a happy purchaser on the day.
I will deal with this from now on and if you can give me 24 hours, I will get
back to you with as much information as I can find at this end.
Thank you for your interest in this matter.

The ad has been updated, but the sellers are sticking to their assertion that
this was the last one off the line:
? We don't want to 'labour the point' but this is the LAST big Healey
off the line - ever!!!
NB: We are aware of the three cars assembled after Chassis 43025. When the
production line was stopped, a further two cars
