The temptation to acquire and attach a reproduction little letter “M” to the “100” grille badge of a Healey Hundred remains strong in the culture.  Of course we know – or at least we’re reasonably sure – that these were … Continue reading →

Here’s another blast (or spark?) from the past: spark plugs with three electrodes. Actually, with a little Internet searching I see that these seem to still be available.  The ones shown here came out of the RHD BN2 project that … Continue reading →

These are believed to have originally been installed on a BN1 that was parted out.  They’re just the standard Burgess brand air filter canisters, although a previous owner apparently painted the perforated outer band red to match his car. Note … Continue reading →
