Perhaps that's because it's based on one!
That's well-spotted because it didn't look at all like an A-H to me!
Await the details of exactly what it is then so it's locked for you for 24 hours.

That's a fascinating car. Never seen it before.
Does it outdate Healey's own 100 coupes?
And it appears to survive too. In Belgium?

There is a 6 page article about this car in Ruoteclassiche magazine, Feb 2010.
The car is now in Florence, in Mauro Lotti's collection.

Well, i've never seen that one before. Very good looking, if a little strange around the side windows...
