hello from the Jaguar forum nextdoor;
has anyone here heard of "Healey Coachworks" ?
the attached file below shows a tire gage that I found under the carpeting of a 1965 Jaguar S type that I purchased in San Francisco. The car's interior was mostly untouched when I got it, which might account for this gage remaining unseen by others, for who knows how many years.
Also, the "wool" fabric-pocket for the gage is the same color as the interior carpet in my car, sort of a "champagne white", another reason for it remaining unseen.
The gage is beautifully plated in a type of gold plating that I haven't seen before, i.e., very fine quality and smooth, it looks unused everywhere.
There are two imprints: 'HEALY' horizontally, and 'COACHWORKS' vertically. Is this gage old or modern? Anybody knows?
