Healey Sports Cars

I've been into Healeys since 1967 when I bought my first Bugeye from my cousin. Always have had the urge to hot rod them, though. In addition to the "Exploder" [forum.britishv8.org] ( still not sure about that name, may want to change it to"Fauxbra"), I have a fully restored Bugeye done up with all the mods that were available in the Special Tuning Manual (woo hoo! 55 bhp!) But I always dreamed of a big V8 in a Sprite, even though I know it would handle like a turd. Like a lot of us at the time, I think I fell under the spell of Big Daddy Ed Roth, who was just too cool for school. He probably made more money selling air-brushed t-shirts, Ratfink stuff and Maltese crosses to us pimply faced high schoolers than he ever made with his automotive creations. Here's one of my favorites:

Awesome! I wonder how hard it would be to get one of this stickers....

(I can do without the 6-71 huffer though)
