Yes. I believe it was a 1959 3000. I had read about it long ago in my
ex-wife?s People magazine. I wanted to help him locate the car, but was unable
to contact him.

G'day Chris.
I started a thread on BCF on "Celebrity Healeys" that I later turned into an
article for Healey Marque:

&highlight=celebrity I try to keep the thread updated as I stumble across a
new one. Surprising what turns up, like your former PM, Paul Keating:

Happy Healeying,

Just read this from an old (1979) interview article with Robin Williams.
"The externals of the Williams' lifestyle have changed surprisingly little
since Mork. True, they moved from their rented beach apartment to a modest (by
Hollywood standards) under $200,000 canyon home. Robin describes it as "rustic
bordering on funk." Since his old Austin-Healey was stolen, he's bought a
silver BMW. He also acquired a malamute, Sam, who visits the neighbors to watch
TV (about all Williams watches is Taxi). On their acre of land, Robin and
Valerie plan to add two dwarf goats to a burgeoning menagerie that now includes
Polish chickens, Cora the parrot and Mr. I, the iguana who lives under the
refrigerator (his companion, Truman Capote, has passed away). "My desire for
material things is almost nonexistent," says Williams, who points out that his
suburban Detroit upbringing as the son of a Ford Motor Co. exec accustomed him
to comfort."

Didn't know that!
Anyone know more?
Best
