Healey 1000/4 yes 1000/4!!

I wa talking to a friend about the old British motorcycles he used to owned as a kid and he mentioned his favorite was an Ariel Square 4. He said it sounded like a Jimmy Diesel when it accelerated and had an unusual crankshaft configuration.
I looked it up and came across a reference to another British bike with the same engine design. A Healey 1000/4 built by the Healey brothers. Different family I assume, but still in keeping with DMH in using an unusual approach to engineering. Anyone seen one? I think they only made about 28 or so.
