Actually, Donald Healey did redesign one of these at least. It is called a
Healey Fiesta and was based on the European version, which survives in the
European market as of 2002. Look up Healey Fiesta on Google and you will get
a
reference to R&T's August 79 cover. It was a one-off and the car is still in
existence owned by a member of the Healey Association in LA. We don't seem
to have a picture in our collection that shows you anything.
