Car restoration was completed in August 2015. This was exactly 45 years, to the month, as it was disassembled in August 1970 (see photo)
I have received countless accolades for the quality of the restoration, the paint finish and color-original factory Healey Ice Blue non-metallic.
So far, the car has garnered 3 trophies and only has less than 100 miles on the clock
