It's uncertain if he ever actually purchased any from the UK factory, he tragically died a few days later. If such a vehicle exists it's gotta be worth YYYUUUUGE $$$$ regardless of it's condition.

Friend of mine has one, if you were to be in an accident involving the front end you would be lucky to escape with your teeth with the steel dash, one interesting thing mechanically about the car is the electronic engaged over drive.

I bought a big Healey 61 in 1977. Still in the garage, and my plans are to restore it in about 2 years. Gosh, I love that car.

I owned three AH 3000’s. Bought a 1960...did a strip-to-the-frame restoration, sold it. Bought a ‘61 in boxes...sold it in the the same boxes. Bought another ‘60 and just drove the wheels off it. Fun, beautiful cars.
That one’s the export version.
