[Healeys] Austin Healey Restoration

[Magnus Karlsson]

To Tom, Ron, Bob, Rick, Price and Jim.

Thanks to all of you for your interest and very kind comments. I try to answer
all your questions in one mail.

The car was restored from the ground up with many new inner and outer body
panels. The body is all aluminium.
The engine has a race aluminium top, 3000 camshaft, forged pistons, roller
rockers, tuftrided crank, aluminium flywheel etc, etc.
The carbs are three 2" HD84s on an inlet manifold made in Holland I beleive.
It4s made in order to be able to fit triple HD84s on
a LHD car. I bought the manifold from AH Spares. Tubular exhaust manifold with
side exit silencer.
The front brakes are uprated to BJ8 spec with Girling type 16 calipers. The
gearbox is fitted with straight cut gears of Sebring ratio.
 The overdrive is uprated to race spec. Apart from  these mods I tried to
build it to full concours standards.
The car is seriously fast and drives wonderfully. I would estimate the power
to around 190 BHP and you can feel that the
car is very light thanks to the aluminium body.

The slide show was made with the Apple program, Aperture.

Thanks again to all of you,
