The originality of GOLDIE was lost when she was brought to America from
England and restored by Healey Surgeons. The car was a mess when they found
her. I saw her shortly after she arrived at the Healey Surgeons shop in
1986 or 1987 and before the restoration, so I know she was in poor
condition.
Actually, I was a bit confused about this thread at first. I couldn't
believe GOLDIE would need restoration again, even after 20 years. Sounds
like the Phillipses sold her to someone else who had the second restoration
done. Last time I saw her, I believe, was at Conclave in 2003. She was on
display in a room at the hotel and certainly didn't look like she needed a
second restoration then.

So, if true, GOLDIE, is no longer GOLDIE but a reproduction of GOLDIE? A
shame the originality would be lost; I brought her up from DC in 2000 to
AHSTC's Encounter Valley Forge, the car looked great (I know ten years goes
by so quickly).
