Bill -
It's funny, when I was a kid, it seemed that this type of 'family heirloom'
concept with the cars was usually associated with the family's Model T
pickup or Model A. Ts and As are classics... but I'll take a Healey
heirloom anyday!
Maybe one day they'll have a fuel-cell bolt up kit for the healey... that'll
be the day!
Cheers,
Alan
