Finally got my Doretti running after a little over a year of work. Trying to do a survivor/sympathetic restoration:

Wow, you have captured a mythical beast. I've only seen these in pictures. Never seen one in real life. Would love to see more photos.

You didn't happen to see a Red Healy 100-6 (4 seater) did you?
I sold mine to Love-Thomas Motors,in the mid-'70's,& haven't heard anything
about it since then.It was the first car my Wife & I ever went out in.

Many years ago, when I lived in NW England, a Doretti used to show up at autotests and the like. I wonder what became of it.
