[Healeys] You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch

[Randy Hicks]

I have the car registered in The Austin Healey Club of America 100 Registry. It is a BN1 with Le Mans conversion. Not sure when the conversion was done.

Last I saw the car listed was at Gullwing Motors (NY) in late 2011. It apparently went to the UK after that.

It was issued in Wolverhampton but only counties or metropolitan areas' who had used up all the prefix letters, would have used the reverse system of numbers before letters. YUK is a long way from the first used of say xxx AUK so I would venture to guess that this registration was issued in the early the 1960s but before the extra suffix letter was added in 1962.
