The shop owner who sold me my first 7 and has since become a great friend is the only guy in the area who really works on old English cars. Rotaries and English cars are his passions.

Over the 6 or 7 years of knowing him, I'm seen MGB's, Triumphs, etc....some in awful condition, some in amazing condition but this was the first Austin Healey I've seen him have in the shop.

It really is a beautiful old car. Hope some of ya'll enjoy the pictures.

 

A couple more.

 

jbridge 12a swap?

 

Cool car, is it a driver or in for restoration? If mine was a 3000 I'd be keeping it.

Maybe a trade for a '59 Bugeye w/1275, Mazda alt conversion, Datsun 5sp, later brake and clutch system, wires wheels, disc brakes?

 

The owner brought it in for maintenance and is planning on selling it. I was surprised to find out in good condition these cares bring $40,000+.
