[Healeys] Healey67 in Medina Ohio

re: "Do I see traces of BRG on the bottom of the floors and under the 
red paint in the undercarriage photos?"

Nothing 'jumped out' at me; the rust on the chassis looks original.  Not 
surprising, I guess, on a Midwestern car; but it appears the '21,000' 
miles was all done in the winter.  My BJ8's bottom looks better than 
this one's, but AFAIK it spent its life in California (it has original 
CA plates).

What struck me is the shoddy shape of the interior (photo of my car's 
attached).  Looks like someone took the console out--you have to pull 
the radio to get it out--and forgot to put the radio knobs and ashtray 
back  in and secure the console to the tunnel. Engine bay looks 
good--except for the rust on the fluid reservoir and non-original plug 
wires--and the intake manifold appears to have original green paint 
(which usually either flakes off or gets removed at overhaul).  Paint 
looks good; no 'spurs' often seen after dogleg repairs.
