Great choice in cars. I would look at a BN2. Kind of like a 56 or 57 TR3 instead of a TR2. The cars have a few improvements that make them much more roadworthy, and can run in todays traffic. I had a BN6 some time back. Healeys are nothing like Triumphs. Much more complex. A body off restoration is very difficult without the right kind of shop and tools. In my opinion the 100 series cars were the best looking. Good luck with what you want to do.
