The Oldenburg Family acquired this 'Big Healey' at auction in Florida some 15 years ago, and despite a number of these cars arriving in and leaving the collection in the intervening time, it has been this car that they retained for the longest time. The family report it to have been the best-looking scheme for these cars in their view of the Ice Blue Metallic over Old English White, which is hard to dispute. They also like the practicality of this variant and have found this particular example to have been a reliable, usable and fun British sportscar in their tenure.
