Lastly, I'll wager there's not a Healey out there that rides and steers better that this one. I took the car to Hendrix Wire and Wheel in Greensboro, NC to get new tires , to balance, true wheels and drums on the rear. He used a lathe to do the job. The results were incredible. If you have a chance to drive it you'll see! I have copies of all the work that has been done on the car since I bought it in 2014. The only thing I know of that one might want to address is that 2nd gear comes out of place sometimes while coasting down a slight grade. I'm told it is a simple repair. There is a nylon ball and spring that holds it in 2nd gear and the spring has lost it's tension. I had just finished insulating the transmission/drive train tunnel and did not want to disturb my work. Everything is as near perfect as a 50 year old English car can be.
