Graham,
I spoke to a guy at Ansa a few months ago, his name escapes me, bit I
have it on my laptop and he said that they, Ansa USA, had purchased probably
the last NOS Ansa system for the TR6 at a heavy price and shipped it to
Italy so they could use it to re-tool, since they had destroyed all the dies
and jigs for the TR6. He said hopefully this summer the Ansa system for the
TR6 would again be available. As for the Healey I don't know but it's a toll
free call and they will let you know. If you would like his name let me
know.
Nick
