[Healeys] What is it?

[Bob Spidell]

Also, rear shroud doesn't look correct (believe a '66 should have the amber turn signals of a Phase 2, no?). 

Given that and what Michael says, it appears this car may have been pieced together.

Hi Steve, 
Pretty sure that the car has an earlier head on it which was used with the 
"thermo carb" cold starting system and the plate is covering the hole in 
the head where the "Otter" switch to control the thermo carb was located.
