Car is currently out for final body fit and paint

Car restoration was completed in August 2015. This was exactly 45 years, to the month, as it was disassembled in August 1970 (see photo)

I have received countless accolades for the quality of the restoration, the paint finish and color-original factory Healey Ice Blue non-metallic.

So far, the car has garnered 3 trophies and only has less than 100 miles on the clock

please register your early 100 (up to chassis #152000) at our registry site: healeyhelper.com. Easy fill in form and you can attach a photo. We are trying to account for the first 1274 production run in 1953.

Spam prevention question (must be answered):
The father of jokes about warm beer and smoke escaping from wires is Joseph Lucas. Lucas died of typhoid after drinking infected water in Naples in 1902.

What disease did Lucas succumb to?
