<div>Don't read Dutch, but the first one of the 4000s was at the Netherlands Healey Museum-BRG (mentioned in the text) and I think this one was originally the second one built-Healeys built 3 "prototypes" before BL told them to take a hike- RR did not want their engine in a competitive British car and BL did not want Healey's name on one of their models. This was the last attempt to keep the 3000 model alive but the time was not right, so Geoff and Donald began work on a new prototype (X500) that eventually became Kjell Qvale's Jensen-Healey.</div>

<div>This car is 6" wider than the 3000 and had an upgraded interior and suspension but probably still could not meet US safety (Nader) requirements. Hank</div>
