Ken,

I've gone into hibernation until spring. No heat in my garage. You didn't last long before you cracked and went for the V8!

If you look up "Ultimate British Sports Car" in the dictionary, you should see a picture of this car!

Outstanding.

Nice car, but I have to say,"What a waste of a great set of heads with that carb on them!" Those heads just rip when set up with a quad Weber kit, or a Hillborne injection!

Dan,

You're right. I looked up "ultimate British sportscar" in the dictionary and found a picture of the Healey ... right next to your MG!

Rick,

I'll have to agree, my car is pretty nice, but nothing says British Sports Car quite like an Austin Healey, not a Jaguar, a Triumph, or even an Aston Martin - nothing!
