Sorry that I don't remember the details, but someone is already building a new
healey. I remembered reading the plans a few years back, and they said it
would only happen if they could get Jeff(?) Healey's blessing. Aparently they
did and the car is being built and looks essentially the same as a 3000. the
company doing it is a three letter name, the first letter being H if I recall
correctly. They make a normal version and a lightweight version, that is
without top, wingdows, gadgetry, and has only a racing screen on front.
Someone in the UK could probably fill in the blanks.

A complex system that does not work is invariably found to have
evolved from a simpler system that worked just fine.
