Mine was built April '57, and the paint on the block was very thin when I bought it. In fact, bare metal was showing in several areas. There were no signs of anything other than Healey green paint, s

On Lonbridge BN4's, there's a hook welded to the bottom of the top frame on the driver's (left) side of the car. It hooks into a rubber "grabber" exactly the same as the ones that hold the hood and t

A couple more things I just thought of: Make sure you install the driver's seat slides before you reinstall the exhaust. The muffler will block access to the nuts that hold the sliders down. If you h

Ditto for me. Still looking for the correct washer pump. I have a Longbridge single windshield sprayer that I bought from British Car Specialists, but it doesn't appear to match the one I've seen in

I have the yellow, & it spins the starter like crazy, even after sitting for a month. I have no experience with the red, so it might do the same thing for all I know. I went to a battery store to buy

One major difference with the aluminum trim plates is the piece covering the sill. On the Longbridge cars, there's just one piece from the bottom of the sill to the top of the door threshold. On late
