[Healeys] Grill surrond question

[Rich C]

Meanwhile both the preproduction AHX-14 and the first production car 
BN1L138031 that I helped the present owner restore completely have the 
curved top grilles. We were very careful to prove out and maintain these 
details.
You can see many pictures of them on Larry Varley's Restoration site.
