Hult Healey from Sweden...

Back in the eighties they made about 35 cars like this.. It's an Austin-Healey rip-off, called Hult Healey. It's a monocoque chassis (again Healey copy) designed to take Volvo 140 series donor components. Therefore it's widened about 5 inches which gives you much desired space in the engine compartment...

I just picked this beauty up last week and I'm really excited to dig into it. It features a Rover 3500 V8 with a 4 speed gearbox and the finish looks like crap, Well, not really but it's not up to my standards. I'm leaning towards a TVR 500 V8 and transmission setup. I'll at least ponder on a seriously tuned Ford 302.. but the TVR will give me 350bhp and 350 Nm of torque which wiuld launch this 1000 kg car just fine. I'll loose the 18 inchers and the tacky roll bars for a more traditional look. If I get it to where I want it to be it'll be a crossover between a hotrod and a sportscar. Modern with a classic touch. It's all plastic fantastic anyway so it's not like I'm comitting sacrilege *LOL*
