I had one in the early 90's that was a complete drivable car. Some guy came
up to me at a car show and told me about how he had it in his barn and
wanted $1800 for it. I bought it, got it running and puttered around town in
it and later tried to sell it at Conclave 93 for $2500 and never got an
offer.
The car was eventually sold and parted out for the Healey parts. The
chassis and body went to a guy in Pittsburgh so I wonder if this is the same
one.
I still hold title to the car. Every year when I renew my plates for the
regular cars they announce in a very loud voice that I owe back taxes on
three Austin Healeys and people look at me like I am a criminal. Taxes on the
Healeys are only eighty three cents per year
