[Healeys] Something we thankfully don't see every day

[Mark Donaldson]

Yesterday I came across this set of photos I'd not seen before.
They're from the Fresno Bee in August 1966 of a crashed BN2 on the
Tollhouse Road, NE of Fresno.   The licence plate appears to read NSO
407.   There is a small badge on the left of the grille.   Looks like
crossed flags.  Do any listers recall this event, or the car?   It's
only the second Healey I've ever seen that's been in a bad crash.
The car does not appear to be an M as there is no 'strap gap' in the
bonnet louvres and the exhaust system is not stock.   My guess is it
had been tweaked for extra performance.   Too much, I guess!
