Beautiful Healey! Racing screen down makes the car look 100 times sexier. Even Gerry Coker the designer of this car said the racing screen down was the only way the car should be seen. I tend to agree. A louvered bonnet would look good too.
@deadmantyping2 I sure agree about the louvered bonnet! It might help *somewhat* with the incurable cabin heat! I owned four BN1s and BN2s as a teenager in high school and learned to love them when they were running and rue them when they broke. I broke 3 crankshafts EXACTLY btwn the 2d and 3d main bearings! My first BN1 driver cost me $200 in 1965. Here in the US today, they all start at $20,000+ if they're all together! Wonderful/horrible cars ~ this vid makes me want another AGAIN!
So wide and empty roads in America, and still you drive slower then in Europe.
Great car fellow austin owner ;)
