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

[Jean Caron]

I would like to know if such thing ever existed, I have never heard of such thing, nor have I read anywhere that it was an option, photo anyone?

    How many of you with a BN1 have the original cup holder mentioned in
    the referenced article?  That must be a very rare item since no more
    can be made.

      Hi John,
        

        
        There's more information on the car
          here: http://tinyurl.com/kskyb5h  
        According to the owner, the car was
          purchased by a U.S. soldier in Germany, shipped to the U.S. in
          the 60s and went back to the UK in 2013.

              Dear All
                

                
                Having made just a quick check I cannot find any
                  car in our database with that UK registration number.
                

                
                I have to presume that this means that the owner
                  had not registered his car with the Austin-Healey Club
                  UK. As you said with a chassis number it would help us
                  all to keep an eye out for the car.
                

                
                I get the feeling that the registration (marque)
                   number 856 YUK would not have been issued when the
                  car was young. 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.
                

                
                This could mean that the car came back from outside
                  the UK; but this sort of speculation is of no help
                  without a chassis number.
