Not to worry, since the damage has already been done. This will be bought 
by one of Canepa's high-roller clients for his wife, they will drive it on 
one California Mille and be discontented when they don't get lots of respect, 
get passed by the Ferraris, and wind up with back and butt pains from the 
badly redone seats. Then, because they weren't Healey folks to begin with (or 
they would have known better than to pay this much for this little) they 
will tuck the car in the back of their multi-car display facility for a few 
years, and eventually sell it at Silver Auctions for about $40,000 and it will 
wind up in the back of a third-rate "museum" somewhere in the midwest. 
Bottom line, we'll never see it again. If the restorer was, in fact, 
working with a 750 mile car stored in a living room (How do you get a car in 
and 
out of a living room, anyhow, or is this a case of a person living in his 
parent's garage with a barcalounger and tv next to the Healey and a studio 
behind or above?) then he's done a desecration and won't lose much money on the 
deal.
I'll have to check it out, since I've got to go down there in a week or so, 
anyhow.
