Big Austin-Healey with a hardtop? The general shape and the rear bumper fit, but I'm just bothered about the rear lights... |

I don't believe it's a Austin Healey ...I think it's one of the lesser know sports cars of the period? |

Out of left field - maybe Swallow Doretti?? I can't find a good pic of one from the rear. It looks like an Austin-Healy at first glance but the lights and fuel filler aren't right. |

Voilà deux photos de Swallow Doretti: C'est vrai que le bouchon de réservoir n'est pas à la bonne place. De plus la grande majorité des Swallow Doretti étaient des cabriolets seulement munis de capotes. Seuls quelques exemplaires ont été livrés avec un hard-top et il existe un ou deux coupés carrossés par Ghia. Mais ces derniers ne collent pas non plus. |

Looks similar to an AC Ace (with a detachable hardtop) but cannot be certain. /vehicle_105389-AC-Ace-1958.html -- Last edit: 2007-07-04 13:02:43 |

I agree on the Ace. The rear lights are the same, on both the Healey 100 as the MGA these are very different. The Swallow Doretti is a lot flatter from the back. The place of the petrol cap fits the AC too. -- Last edit: 2007-07-04 13:11:29 |
