HEA4K.

Post by Trevithick »

First may I say many thanks to Tony and all involved in keeping this old machine alive.
As some may know I've been toying with the idea of a Healey for some time and a few weeks back I heard that this one could be coming up for grabs, so grab I have.
HEA is now off to Cornwall to continue the small amount of works and to be used as was meant to be.
At present I am getting stuck in rush hour traffic around Bristol, what a way to break into Healeyship.

Air suspension and small block Chevy engine ordered ready for fitting. :wink:

Tony has passed HEA onto a worthy new Jensen owner.

I am sure this will become a very rapid machine in time.

I'm not a stickler for originality with my cars, especially given that I just poked a 4L60E GM transmission in my Interceptor, but I'm don't have a historical car, nor one as nice looking as yours (although mine is pretty cool).

Anyway - it's your car, but it's only original once (if it is right now).

Good luck with the mod.

Looked good earlier, kept the roof down until the Cornish border then it all went a bit biblical flood conditions. 10/10 to the car it handled it well albeit a bit leaky.

Hi Rocky,

I'm sure that it's more than safe to assume that the modifications were mentioned with tongue firmly in cheek,

Regards,

Cheers Felix. I intend that HEA will travel as much as the SP.
