Geno, 

If the under floor insulation panel has been applied to any Healey prior to
the MK 2 tricarb, somebody did it after the fact. Of course the aftermarket
suppliers have been offering these kits for years and usually include the
under floor panel as well, but it was not original on earlier cars.

I've had over a dozen Healeys starting with my first '60 3000 MK 1 in 1969,
they all had the asbestos heat shield. I've parted out  10 or 12 & don't
remember any not having them. My '63 & '67 do, have to look under my '53
BN1,
can't remember. cheers Geno
