[Healeys] Pretty Jamaican

[Peter Dzwig]

Well if I get to the sale I will let you know what it goes for. My guess 
would be nearer the bottom than the top end. There isn't a huge market 
for what are seen - rightly or wrongly - as kit cars. As for the race 
car that is claimed in the headline, there is a lot more interesting 
stuff out there and I doubt that it would be very competitive without a 
lot of work.

Asa road car it doesn't even have much stowage space.

IMHO it's well-presented but while pretty, these are bitsa cars, bitsa 
this and bitsa that. To my eyes it looks a bit like an Iso, a tiny bit 
of Miura in there maybe, even a bit of TVR. The nose could have been 
better rendered and the side windows look a bit compromised and I have 
doubts about the efficacy of driving lights. There really is little of 
an integrated design vision.

In short I wouldn't bid for it. :-)

Sorry to be controversial, :-)
