Hi Patrick,
=20
Your understanding is probably right: John Chatham writes in an article =
(https://www.ewilkins.com/wilko/ah4000.htm): =E2=80=9CSix modified =
chassis were thus put together by regular Austin-Healey chassis supplier =
John Thompson Motor Pressings and dispatched to Jensen which built the =
3000 bodies.=E2=80=9D
=20
In Bill Emerson=E2=80=99s The Healey Book you can see the prototype with =
British license plate TNX65G in British Racing Green and without any =
badge on the bonnet. And there is a picture of a white 4000 with license =
plate PWD663F and what looks like the old Healey-badge.
=20
>From the white 4000 with chassis 624W1628 (ex DMH, then Arthur Carter =
and Allen Casavant) I saw three efforts to sell the car. Twice in 2008: =
by the dealer Classic Restorations for GBP 250000 and at an auction =
where it was a No Sale at $350,000. In 2013 the German dealer Auto Salon =
Singen offered it again with POA.

Betreff: [Healeys] Austin-Healey 4000
=20
Greetings
=20
Through the wonders of Google it=E2=80=99s easy to translate the Dutch =
to English.
=20
My understanding is that in period a total of six widened new chassis =
were made for the Rolls-Royce powered cars. Three complete cars were =
made. Then sometime down the track, one of them was in a severe accident =
and one of the three leftover chassis was used in the rebuild. That car =
was finished in red and imported into Australia in late 1974 and I drove =
it in January 1975. That car has since been fully restored in Old =
English White and remains in Australia.
=20
When in the UK later in 1975 I met Peter(?) Cox who was the owner of =
another Rolls-Royce powered car that was finished in British Racing =
Green. I had the pleasure of driving that at an Austin-Healey rally at =
Donington Park. That is the car in the Dutch Healey Museum.
=20
The third example, also finished in white, ended up with Alan Casavant =
and as far as I know is in Switzerland.
=20
Sometime in the 1980s or =E2=80=9890s a replica was made in the UK by =
ex-pat Australian Keith Boyer and featured in a UK magazine. I have a =
recollection that it was finished in red, but I may be mistaken.
=20
What is interesting is the chassis number of the car coming up for =
auction in Belgium (not the Netherlands) is BN4460941 while the chassis =
number of the car in Australia is F 41.
=20
With anything that is rare, it=E2=80=99s always important to pay due =
diligence to its history.
