If I'm not mistaken, all of the cars were individually sold off as part of 
a divorce settlement, and the collected research materials and documents 
were sold to someone in Switzerland who was promising to make them available 
again as part of his campaign to launch a "new Healey" -- To my knowledge, 
neither has happened, and I think they're lost again. Bill Emerson might know, 
since he's still around and was curator of the intended museum in Virginia.
