Anyone here happen to have a front shroud or some front fenders for a 3000 MKIII they want to sell?
 
These aren't the body parts you are looking for, but hey, hey, hey, check these babies out:

Naked hand rubbed hard bodies!

Why didn't Donald Healey think of these?

Could you imagine a Healey with...

No. No, heck no!

Brian--The 100 was almost released with fins but wisely they were eliminated.
 
Loved the "Hard Bodies", and yes I'm sure they were "hand rubbed" a lot! That's just the way I've always pictured California.

Lots of interesting & funky photos on that site...loved it...did you see the old photo of the TD in a gas station?
 
Thanks for that number...will give him a call later tonight.

The 1958 El Dorado Biarritz convertible has the sloping back like the Healey, but with giant fins sort of glued on. They always looked out of place to me. Kind of an afterthought.

Don't try that on your 100. Bad idea.[/QB]<hr></blockquote>

I remember seeing a few Biarritz's (can one really pluralize that word??)that had the fins surgically removed--they looked quite cool. OTOH the Healey models with the fins looked just plain dumb and Coker wisely talked DMH out of them.
