First Rule:
Don´t buy one. Its just trouble you don´t need and better avoid!
There are 1000 better possibilities to spread your money.

Restoration based tips rather than working car tips.
Whatever you think it'll cost to restore, double it and you might be somewhere close to the actual cost.
Pic a restorer and stay with them, i made the mistake of using a couple for different stages of my build.
You can still get wooden clothes pegs for your choke cable.
Insulate floor with dynamat or similar to save passengers getting cooked.
Make sure you're not colour blind like me when doing your wiring or you might end up blowing loads of fuses until you ask the wife why all these 6 green wires you are trying to connect keep blowing fuses, to be told they have red and purple tracers.
Ask loads of questions as nothing ever seems to be how it should be, or seems to fit.
I'm sure there's loads more but i'm now 13 years older, greyer, and certainly poorer than when i started my restoration and only have 6 months left to go of a 3 year project.

The Healey Drivers Limited Edition Beermats are for healeyneil.
I have no real good feelings with the Healey Museum or the Healey Drivers Club.
Healeyneil is better enjoying that winners present.

That's a very kind offer, Josef, but I really couldn't. And I like the Healey museum and intend to go back 😀
