| Clint in the Los Angeles sales room |
Clint (not my idea) arrived from the US after an 8 week journey. Amazing how easy it is to buy a car in another country!
Clint is an Austin Healey 100/6, built on February 28th 1959 and shipped to the USA East Coast, Pennsylvania. We located him on Christmas Day 2016 in LA, completing purchase on New Years Eve 2016.
From LA he travelled from LA down the west coast of the US, through the Panama Canal and across the Atlantic via New York, arriving in Southampton in March 2017.

The trip from Southampton though was not as successful as I would have liked! Car is now without it's roof - this is somewhere along the route - not the best start!
These may be the last images of Clint with his hat. Anyhow. Now that the car has arrived this blog can start as a record of its restoration. The plan, well, total restoration really - not expecting an easy ride. First year - thats 2017 is to repair the inner body, but first thing is to see what works!
