Yes I know it's the MG forum, but I just had to tell my story. I had the extreme privilage of setting in Mr. Healeys personal Rolls Royce Healey! It was purchased by a private party for excess of one million dollars. Only three prototypes were made for international car shows, but the cost was so high,over $20,000 when Healeys were selling for $3,000, they didn't sell. I don't know where the other two are but Mr. Healeys personal car is in North Carolina. The three were widened six inches to absorb the 6cyl. Rolls engine and transmission. I believe the rear is Jaguar. It still has his original English license plate on it. It is slated to go into a museum after final restoration and no one will be allowed to touch it. The feeling of setting where he sat in his personal car was exhilarating to say the least. Photos were taken, but I don't have them yet. PJ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
