Trying to Find Healey Art Print

In the early 80's I saw a really nice print of a big Healey with an airplane in the background. Memory is that the plane was older vintage, but I'm not sure. It was in a book that was more about art than cars. Since the internet, I have searched many times for this image, but no luck.

Anyone out there seen this?
 
artmck,i also remember prints very much like this,the oldest one dating back to the mid to late 60,s it consisted of a healey-might have been a bn type or 1006 with a british 'sopworth camel'the other i recall was that of a healey and an american 'stearman' aircraft,and the last one or latest one i recall was that of a healy and a 'wacko'aircraft dating around the late 80's or so,i believe the first mentioned pic,was an advertisment shot,the others either calender picts or some club picts.you might try searching with these aircraft type also included,if i run into them again ill let you know.anthony7777 1963 bj7 3000 M.K.II /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/savewave.gif
 
My vague recollection was that it was a night scene with DC-3 or similar, but I could easily be wrong. When you say wacko, I assume you mean Waco!

The killer is, at the time I wrote down the book title, publisher, etc but since lost it. I was in college at the time and had a '63 BJ7.

hay guys,i recently joined the austin healy club u.s.a.[im sure keoke is happy to hear that]anyway the intro pack i got the other day has a copy of several back issues of the a.h. mag.guess what?the july 05 cover depicts a 1956 100m belonging to a bill mead under the left wing of nothing less then a yellow stearman,this is not the pic. i described earlier on this topic but is rather coinsidental,and a nice picture as well.ive also been searching the web for other picts but no luck yet, ladda!
