I do not believe that they (Caton) can legally use the Austin-Healey
winged badge on the car, It was the sole owner ship of Healey
Consultants and when Margot passed the "family" tried to negotiate
with the Chinese company NaingJung, but the deal fell thru. Did Caton
get the rights to the name?Hank

  And to ad to the conversation, why didn't they turn the wheel over?
One up in the center would have been more in keeping with the original
orientation of the original steering wheel. It seems the three
"spokes' are set 120 degrees apart.
 Oh well. 
 To each his own, but not for me.

  Half a million bucks and we are going to hide the grille-looks like
a sad 100 rather than a smiling one. Nothing uglier than black wire
wheels to accent the '50s style. This guy Caton must be using some old
taxi engines bored out to 3L. Not how I want to remember 100s. Donald
and Geoff would turn over in their graves if they saw this upgrade of
their original design...gosh they hated XC-52 (the fireball so
much-this would be the capper) Hank

 That's gotta be 4-5 degrees of negative camber; how would that affect
handling? Seems like it would make a 100 pretty squirrelly.

   Agreed. It is a nicely completed modification, but really for that
amount of dosh there are many other cars I'd rather get.

 Cheers,

      What a load of rubbish £400k for an engine overhaul from Jme,
later brakes, suspension and a teenager let’s delete the door

 I can do it for £350k if anyone is that stupid! 😂
