The thing I think people need to remember is that this was a time of change
and experimentation in car design. Most cars in the late 1940s were still
tall and bulbous. It took a while for the flatter, smoother look to be
perfected.

G'day
I really do like real Healeys and would say that the photos of this car are
articularly 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
he Healey Duncan. Perhaps the Drone (or Healey Duncan Roadster to give it
ts correct title) is an acquired taste, but the Duncan saloon is
articularly attractive. Well that's what I keep saying to myself over and
ver again each night as I drop off to sleep.

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