If I'm not mistaken, all of the cars were individually sold off as part of
a divorce settlement, and the collected research materials and documents
were sold to someone in Switzerland who was promising to make them available
again as part of his campaign to launch a "new Healey" -- To my knowledge,
neither has happened, and I think they're lost again. Bill Emerson might know,
since he's still around and was curator of the intended museum in Virginia.
