That Healey sounds as if it would be worth following up. Perhaps you could 
contact the current archivist at Gaydon, provide the information you have, and 
ask them to check to see if there is a Healey parked around the Royal Mews 
somewhere. I remember a discussion with the BMIHT curator regarding the 
interesting cars the Royal Family had owned -- Prince Charles learned to drive 
in an 
MGC-GT which the Royal Family still owns, and had an Aston Volante made with a 
cigar case in the console, for example. Some of the Royal Classics are on loan 
to Gaydon. If there is a Healey hiding somewhere around Buck House or one of 
the retreats, Gaydon and the BMIHT should find out about it.
Cheers
