[Healeys] Healey MkIV (4000)

[Mr. Bill]

An interesting bit of trivia about this car.  Please look carefully at 
the boot emblems.  (It's more apparent in the photo in Adam's article.)  
There is an additional vertical emblem under the Austin-Healey that is 
not on the other two cars:  A Rolls Royce "RR".  When I asked Peter Cox 
about it years ago, he laughed and said:  "It's from a watch fob."  
Huh?  "It's a watch fob that I thought would look neat so I glued it on 
the boot lid."

A truly unique Healey! :-)
