This is not an average Austin Healey. It is mechanically very sound and a strong driver.

One other item of interest. The original block is not in the car but I have it and will include if matching numbers are important to you. The damage to the block is very minimal. A small chip the size of a quarter out of the bottom of #5 which can be sleeved. I don't know the bore but it was bored at some time. If you are not a stickler I can provide the block number label only although that is not exactly ethical if you plan to do concours. .just know that.
