[Mgs] The End of Car Culture

[Barrie Robinson]

It is an early Austin Healey.  Just look at the dash shape, drop down 
windscreen and you can see the holders in front on  the trim 
line.  Wings look slightly off but maybe just the camera 
angle.  Engine probably the original.  Also the trim around the 
cockpit was a nice AH touch.  Poor car has probably been butchered.
