Do they really make this money I think not in fairly standard build

Well, if it had an LSD, race axles, double bearing hubs with rear disc brakes, 3430 spindles with Timken taper bearings, custom double pass radiator with the duct, CR 5 speed, Protec double adjustable dampers with the special springs, "Chronometric" tach, Weber carb on a 6" manifold, proper race cylinder head, roller rockers, and the period correct bits like the side lights, flat tail light lenses, 15" wheels and Dunlop vintage race tires... Maybe...

I figure that they made about $15,000 USD on the build (labor), which is about right if EVERYTHING was properly rebuilt and improved.

The car is nicely turned out, but otherwise looks like a standard build for the most part, with a warmed over 1380. Nice, but what about the wheel spin off of every corner?

I am guessing that the price is about £3000~5000 too high.

But then again, if you want one, a nice fresh new one, NOW, these are the guys you have to deal with.

I only hope that they properly sorted the thing out after they assembled it. Otherwise, it will be back up for sale by next driving season.

I do like the green interior.

Much too high i think. A reg check says its still a blue austin Healey sports..... So probably no iva and not registered properly, which will limit its appeal at any price.
