First picture could almost be a Thread convoy and I love the yellow 172 in the second pic;

I'm thinking of building a Sprite/Midget based homage to this gorgeous Healey....

It is stunning isn't it and as you say 'Oh so Revival' cloud9

Thinking the tweaked Sprite above could be a great Goodwood chariot..... :thinking:

Buddy of mine raced in the members meeting in his Fraser Nash, grabbed second and doing so has just had an invite to the revival! Pretty sure I'm going to go now, may see if he needs some help in the pits!

Not missed a year since the first Revival and wouldn't miss it for the world. It is my 'must-do' of the year cloud9

The silver E28 M5 in question is a pup and best avoided at that price.
How so?

yes

The yellow Healey 3000 above looks utterly fantastic in the flesh and that is what has given me the inspiration.....

When 4star found it, it had been sitting in a field for a number of years when prices weren't what they are now, and the underside took a toll as a result. Everything is fixable, but for that money it would need to be checked thourghly. It was a very neglected car made to look shiney.

Hoping to at some point, but have a distinct lack of free weekends this year. Probably later in the year.
