I bought the car in 1997, from an ad in the Columbus Dispatch. I had looked at the car in the fall of 1996, but it was the first one I looked at, and decided to keep looking. I looked at a bunch of other cars, but kept thinking about this one. My girlfriend kept telling me to call, saying he probably still had it. Finally I called, 6 months after I first looked at it, and drove it home at the end of February, 1997, with the top down.
I took it off hte road in 2006 when I realized it was unsafe to drive due to rust. I've been working on it ever since and to date have replaced about 60% of the original sheet metal. I hope to have it back up in a couple of years. I need to because my wife is tapping her foot and looking at the Healey sitting in the driveway
