[Healeys] Lot No: 433

[Oudesluys]

This car has such a stunning history that in my view  it should be left 
largely as is but made in a car that can be driven in events that it was 
designed, build, improved, modified for. No paint just restore rot and 
repair mechanicals.

> Interesting question as also brought up by the auction house is if you owned this car, to what period would you restore this car if you did?  Would it be brought back to the original 1953 or the 1955 iteration?  Nice problem to have if you were made of money...
