G'day

I really do like real Healeys and would say that the photos of this car are
particularly flattering. 17,500 Quid sounds like a good price.

If I could email soap I would send some to you for saying such things about
the Healey Duncan. Perhaps the Drone (or Healey Duncan Roadster to give it
its correct title) is an acquired taste, but the Duncan saloon is
particularly attractive. Well that's what I keep saying to myself over and
over again each night as I drop off to sleep.

One of my all time favorites.  I note the writer says the Sportsmobile
styling is an acquired taste, but that's what I'd say about a Duncan!  What
the writer misses out here is the styling was very ahead of its time for
1948, as this is what US cars looked like in the mid to late 50s just before
the fins popped on the scene.
