=EF=BB=BF
=EF=BB=BF
=EF=BB=BFAround 1998 , known Healey collector and renowned Healey toy collec=
tor , Charles Mattews  developed the only 1/8 scale Healey Model in recent t=
imes .=20
These very rare models only produced once, have become very special to have .=
=20
Plans were to make about 200 limited items being 50 BN1,50 BN2, 50 100M, and=
 50 100S reserved only for owners.  Less than the projected 200 were actuall=
y built and sold, according to Charles.Each model was numbered and recorded s=
o history of each is kept in UK.=20
In conversation with Charles, each model was hand built and like real Healey=
s have a history, as they could  be optioned with things like 72 spoke wheel=
s , wood steering wheel, driving lamps , two tone paint, mirrors as well as o=
ther options and came with both standard windshield and a lay down windshiel=
d .
I am lucky enough to own one and my model like many of our real cars has a u=
nique history from Charles.=20
It was his show car and therefore had every option offered by his Healey Toy=
 Factory having been shown at many shows .=20
It had one repaint do to a scratch received at the annual toy show in UK. I o=
nly know personally of three other US owners=20

Since these models are very rare, in limited numbers, and sold all over the w=
orld, curious if any listers are lucky model owners and if so could you cont=
act me with the details of your model  with me either here or off list ?
It has been nearly 25 yrs since production so it should be interesting .  Mo=
lds have been destroyed so not likely to be produced again.
I will be glad to share findings with those who respond .=20

Ken,If this is the email you were talking about, I got it along with the p=
hoto of your model car. I was in line to get a model made of my car and in=
 fact, Charles and I took photos of my car in 2018 while I had my car at t=
he European Healey Meet in Rust, Germany.=C2=A0It was shortly after that m=
eet that Charles informed me that alas I wouldn't be getting my model made=
. But I couldn't believe the detail he had me go through for the model by =
taking pictures of everything on my car, including all of the decals on my=
 windshield. Still sorry I didn't get far enough up the list to have mine =
made.Oh well,Steven KingsburyBN1On Jan 10, 2023, at 6:44 PM, KENNETH FLEMN=
