*** John Rundle and Anne Rundle's steel wheeled car, John passed away a while ago, info from Barry Moon - the car features in other photo's in the thread ..
The notes are incorrect - this is an early 3000 - sidescreens not wind-up windows so not John and Anne Rundle.
Further post with this photo done recently February 2024, before my mistake was corrected.
Am unsure whose car,
The Rundle BJ8 was sold in 2009 in Wellington and is now in Christchurch, according to Ross W Osborne, " Big " Healey Registrar and " Healey Registrar for the NZ Club.
Barry Moon also passed away in recent years, sadly. Went with him to the 1989 Rally at Masterton and surrounds.

LX100 previously ID9783 My 1953 A-H 100. as it was in the mid 1980's around '85 !!
Bumpers and valance removed, no driving lights and now sporting 72 spoke Wire Wheels, on the rear, off a Triumph TR6, that I had used on my TR4A at times. 48 spokes were original, bloody narrow though !!
It has a new soft top, had only the frame and a hardtop when purchased, soft top was purchased in the UK during my 1982 trip to the USA and UK .. I liked it without the bumpers, the front one was a non-original one, as were the brakes and the 14 inch Hotwire Mags. I believe that Lance Elliott has taken it back to original when he did the restoration that was required. Unsure who has the car now.
I bought it from a guy in Laingholm who also had an MGC, but it had spent some time and had the " modifications " done, funny brakes and those Hotwires when owned, by a guy from Cook Beach, Coromandel. had correspondence about it but gave that and the workshop parts book [ original ], manual [ a reproduction ] to Lance Elliott.

I would really like to know if the "Healey Enthusiast" who asked to borrow some drawings which were given to me by the Healey family when I visited them in Perranporth, which I agreed to, and then despite the staff in his workshop telling him that he had borrowed them, flat denied it, has ever shown my STOLEN drawings to anyone else.

Oldfart, that is not good, they would have been a great gift from the Healey's to you. Most " Healey Enthusiasts " are good guys and girls. having said that I still have a book loaned to me in the early 80's, which I neglected to return and have now lost contact with " Paul " originally from Sydney, but living in NZ at the time. The book is still in the same condition as when I was lent it..

They were a bit precious, pencil, "near plans" for the Le Mans Sprite on about A1 size drawing paper. As you say Roger, most are nice folks, as always one rotten apple in the barrell... If they do turn up anywhere at least someone might know where they belong. And I still lend out things, another gone AWOL is my copy of Ralph Watson Special Engineer :(

Travelled in Walts car to Snowmass, with the AHCCNZ group, and visited his workshop in Goleta, not too far from where Ken Hyndman works at Moss Motors.
