Subject: [Healeys] Healey/Morris connection?

From: Peter Dzwig via Healeys <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 1 Oct 2020 18:28:57 +0100

I was driving and was passed by a Morris 1100 coming towards me. Closing
speed was about 80 - 90 mph, so I didn't get a long chance to look but I
noticed that it had a 100/6-style "wavy grill".

Really curious. Does anyone know if this was a standard option, or an
aftermarket hack? I know that they were part of the same group, but I
wouldn't have thought that the shroud opening would take it on the 1100!

Anyone any thoughts/ideas :-)

Peter
