This just popped up on British V8, a very well done Nasty Boy. Worth a look: https://forum.britishv8.org/read.php?4,3183

Dougie,
That's a nice look, too. It's been on the market for awhile and when listed on eBay in 2013, guys that had seen the car said it didn't look as good in the flesh as it does in pictures. Maybe they've improved it since then. At least they removed the SuperTrapps https://bringatrailer.com/2013/09/27/300-more-power-1955-austin-healey-100-v8-custom/

Or my favorite of all time, BAT 2010 award winner. https://bringatrailer.com/2011/06/25/bat-exclusive-1956-healey-100-gurney-weslake-v8/
I knew the owner. He worked at Ford as an engineer and had full access to all the performance products before they were put into production. He used these products on his car. He did this at his home not at Ford. He was a personal friend of Henry Ford. He regretted selling this car and commissioned us to build his second. He told me that he had raced a GT40 after its completion and the Healey smoked it. The history reported is accurate. He has passed away.

This one showed up at our local Britfest last weekend. He left it with drum brakes because he liked the look better. Tri-power intake. Probably not my thing, but it is very striking.
The guy also has an MGA with a Jag V-12 (he brought it last year). He also claims to own the 4th MG-TD ever built (it's in pieces and he wants to sell it).

Borrani wire wheels?

Didn't look....but you're right. The wheels do look "Ferrari-ish".

If they're genuine new Borranis (and they look it to me) that little bit of bling is $1,500 per EACH 
Looks like a well done car from the pictures. It's nice to see Nastys being done to a high level.

Hey Nial,
In the small LBC world, I happened to meet the owner of that red Nasty Boy from Britfest that you pictured above at a Healey event we had up in Massachusetts yesterday. And yes, those are real Borranis. I'm sending him a link to this thread, perhaps he'll chime in. A really nice guy with some great Healey stories.
