Greetings,
My 100-4 was built and shipped on 2 May 1955 and sent to Donald Healey Motors at Warwick. When shipped to Warwick records show it was paint Healey Blue. When I first saw it in 1959/60 the car was now Blue over black and fitted with a Le Mans Kit. The previous owner had sold to my friend and purchased a Thunderbird. My friend didn't care for the black and blue paint job, calling the car "The Rolling Bruise". He repainted the repaint back to the factory Healey blue. I got the Healey this year. I know where it;s been for the last 61 year and where it started from. The question I have now how do I found out what happened to it at Warwick - Records? And what tricks does one need to trace it to the USA. To what US dealer and the owners it may have had. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance, Jim
