The ad has been updated, but the sellers are sticking to their assertion
that this was the last one off the line:
* We don't want to 'labour the point' but this is the LAST big
Healey off the line - ever!!!
NB: We are aware of the three cars assembled after Chassis 43025. When the
production line was stopped, a further two cars were assembled late in 1967
and another car was built from parts by apprentices in March 1968. This car
(43025) was registered to the Donald Healey Motor Company and was,
non-negotiably, the last Healey 3000 off the production line."

HBJ8/43025 was NOT the last one ever made. That hono(u)r goes to
HBJ8/43026, which was not assembled on the regular production line but in
the "Show Shop" three months after regular production ended (it was, and
is, Ivory White). 43025 was not even the last car built on the
production line (which was 43000, built 23 Nov 67 - 11 Jan 68). 43025
was the last car painted Metallic Golden Beige.
Whoever wrote the description below also got the build date for 43025
wrong. It was built (per the BMIHT certificate) 1 - 16 November 1967 and
dispatched on 22 November to the Donald Healey Motor Co. Funny that they
would get the build date wrong, since they say the certificate is
available. 43025 did not leave the factory with HS6 carbs.
