Thanks for the kind words! I do know that regulations (I think in the UK) prohibited covering the reflectors starting sometime in 1960. So they could have used any leftover Dagmars up until then. In some cases, according to Bill Piggott’s book on the Healey Sixes, dealers simply removed the bullet lens over the reflector, retaining the wider bezel. <br><br><div><a style="font-size:12px" href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/aol-news-email-weather-video/id646100661" target="_blank">Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS</a><br></div><br><p style="font-size:15px;color:rgb(132,115,255);padding-top:15px;margin-top:0px">On Monday, March 10, 2025, 10:18 PM, <a href="mailto:m.g.sharp@sympatico.ca" target="_blank">m.g.sharp@sympatico.ca</a> <<a href="mailto:m.g.sharp@sympatico.ca" target="_blank">m.g.sharp@sympatico.ca</a>> wrote:</p><blockquote><div id="m_-3188572623200726720yiv8943095351"><div><div><p><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:sans-serif">Robert, your car is beautiful, simply beautiful!

And while they really are a 100-6 item nearly exclusively, at least a few early 3000s (including my current Healey) had them. Some, like mine *built 12/59), also retained the 100-6 horn-button flash. And I wouldn't be surprised if a couple had the peaked bonnet and even a 100-6 grille flash, as the 3000 was originally meant simply as an improvement, not a brand-new model. <img id="m_-3188572623200726720yiv8943095351_x0000_i1027" width="4032" height="3024" style="width: 42in; min-height: 31.5in;" src="cid:ii_19585b78d444ce8e91" alt="Inline image"></span></p></div><div><p><span style="font-family:sans-serif"> </span></p></div></div><div id="m_-3188572623200726720yiv8943095351ydpe91033f1yahoo_quoted_1996677485"><div><div><div><p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">On Monday, March 10, 2025, 04:07:52 PM EDT, Hank Leach via Healeys <<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" shape="rect" href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net" target="_blank">healeys@autox.team.net</a>> wrote: </span></p></div></div><div style="border-top:none;border-right:none;border-bottom:none;border-left:1pt solid rgb(204,204,204);padding:0cm 0cm 0cm 6pt;margin-left:6pt"><div><p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"> </span></p></div><div><p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)"> </span></p></div><div><div id="m_-3188572623200726720yiv8943095351ydpe91033f1yiv6049120543"><div><div><p><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:sans-serif;color:rgb(38,40,42)">Lets not forget <u>Dagmar.</u>..only found on the early 100-6 and named for her "pointy"<br clear="none">shape.
