[Healeys] WSM Healey

[Peter & Veronica]

G'day Keith

The Jamaican was a fibreglass body made by Fiberfab in the States. The WSM 
was a one-off aluminium job by Wilson-Spratt Motors in the UK. I had some 
correspondence with Tony Wilson-Spratt (son of the builder) some years ago 
when he contacted me after he saw photos of the Ward Special (there are 
distinct similarities in styling and provenance) I hadn't heard of the WSM 
3000 at the time. Tony was trying to buy back the car which had sat for 
years in less than ideal conditions, but the owner wouldn't sell. I've just 
emailed Tony to see if it was he who stumped up the Stg45k to buy it!

Cheers
