::Today at just after noon EDT, BN1L 158893 burst into life again after being

probably
::saved the car. It was removed from the road at that time, seems to have
been
::completely stripped down to almost every last nut and bolt during the
::1970's, but everything was carefully catalogued and stored. I first saw the
::car in 1988 when a close friend and I went to see a "BN1 Project for Sale".
::My friend bought it, moved 3 times, got married had a family, and
approached
::me in 2000 asking if I could help him sell it as he'd never get around to
::doing the car. I bought it myself, and moved it all again. In 2006 a new
::club member had been looking for a Healey and wasn't having much luck with
::all the overpriced junk out there so I sold it to him as a project  on the
::condition that we would build for him.

::The car is finally about finished except for the many bugs and trouble
::shooting that inevitably comes with the territory. She's all black with
::almost all of her original persimmon orange and red interior, red top, etc.
::She's a stunning piece of Healey.
