Why didn't I think of that. I just sold my 1953 Austin A40 Somerset Coupe. I
should have listed it as an Austin Healey A40 Somerset Coupe and doubled the
interest in the car. It might have fetched $2000 Cdn instead of $1000 Cdn.:)

Owner said it was in a barn for 25 yrs but he's had it under a tarp for the
past 5 yrs and it's time to move it along.

story behind the year issue (there is also a 1961? MGB available from a
different seller) but my impression is that it's one of the 643 you mention.
