I am really pleased to get my Sebring ( Austin Healey replica) MOT'd today and ready to go back on the road, a labour of love that took me nearly four years to build to Concours standard. The sad news is that the car is going up for sale in the near future, I need the garage space!!!!

SVA tested/ certificated and DVLA registered as a new vehicle in late 1999,

brand new components including Sebring powder coated chassis and

etc, etc. 4.3 litre Rover V8 with 5 speed R380 gearbox, both supplied
new by John Eales (Je Developments). In fast road specification with
heavy duty clutch, oil cooler, two Kenlowe fans and twin SU
