WSM is best known for it's special bodied Sprites, but did produce one 3000 fastback coupe that recently sold at auction for 45,000 pounds. Here's some then and now pics and a link to the auction story and more pics:

What a steal! I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. Even with the full restoration this unique Healey needs I think there's plenty of room with the potential value this car is has. It's by far the best looking big Healey coupe ever produced and it's all aluminum not plastic/fiberglass. I'd restore it period correct for the track and book my entry to the Goodwood Revival ASAP.

Thanks Rick, you just ruin my day.
 
A customer crashed his Austin-Healey Sprite and between the customer, Douglas Wilson-Spratt and body builder Peel coach works, they designed and built a very attractive streamlined coupe body. This was to be the forerunner of a number of "WSM" cars as they were to become known, based mainly on Spridgets, but also on an MGB, an Austin 1100 and of course the one-off Austin-Healey 3000 seen above in the last photo.---Keoke
