Found this on ebay and was struck that it was an interesting use of the term restoration - I assume that the person selling it walks around whistling 'always look on the bright side of life' too.

Healey has a big chassis so not so bad a project, but may need a body off rebuild to get the chassis straight. According to that the insurance paid £60K to the owner! Not sure what they are wort today but Healey values are sky high.

Dead right, the Healey boys are, and have had to have been over the years, great 'fettlers' and will recover most things, but you can bet if this car represents halfway decent value to one of these guys, it will be snapped up :? nice colour too :D
