[Healeys] 100-Six Protoype for sale!?! 70,000 pounds

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day Rich

Yes correct, as long as it hasn't been lost over the years.

On mine there is the Donald Healey Motor Co Ltd plate and next to that is
the body plate that has 5276 on top and BN3/1 directly underneath.

You know, while I have owned the car for over 35 years I have never found
out what the number 5276 means.

If this is one of the BN3 cars then it should have the brass Warwick tag 
stating BN3/2 or BN3/3. I believe Patrick's is BN3/1 and the horribly ugly 
one we located here in Southern Ontario back in the '80's and is pictured in

Emerson's book was badged BN3/4.
