- OK, I really need some experienced advise and there is nowhere else to turn. I can do one of two things, but not both. My Healey will take about two years to restore and I have a budget around $45,00

- Gee guys, that wasn't even close!! Looks like I'll be restoring the BN2 unless someone has a nice driver (hopefully in Healey Blue) they would like to sell. Thanks again for the quick response. Doug
