“Field Find”
Original color Ivory white with red interior.
Vin number HBT7L / 8173
Although I am not quite sure that the Austin Healey world has devolved to the point of restoring a car primarily around a Vin number, I am none the less offering this as a car for restoration with a bill of sale.
The Good:
You can tell your friends you just purchased an Austin Healey 3000
The upper parts of the aluminum shrouds are actually not horrible at all.
The skeletonized rusted frame is actually quite an interesting thing to look at, if you are in the frame of mind of an archeologist who is appreciating shards of some ancient vase that was smashed on the rocks of the Aegean sea 2000 years ago.
The Bad:
Missing most parts. Smashed and rusted in almost every conceivable way. Rusted in places Healeys normally do not rust.
The level of corrosion almost rivals the famous lake Maggiore Bugatti
(this feature could be good, bad or ugly, depending on your state of mind)
The Ugly:
The car is in two pieces and does not roll. It does steer however, although each wheel steers independently which actually does not matter because it does not roll.
