Kevin, we had similar interests...had two identical big Healeys at one time with one set of license plates and drove whichever one I had working at the time.  Several E-type's and an Xk150S roadster that I sold, to my great regret.  It is now the best in shows of its type in the Southeast.  Polished them a lot, but drove them all.  At age 73 am now into cars that I don't have to spend too much time under them rather than driving them!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. SO true! For every hour you drive a old British car you spend 1 hour under the hood, or under the dash. I am now pushing 70 so I had to give the driving toys up, too hard to spend time under the dish. BUT when they ran, man there was no feeling like it. You couldn't help but smile and people had to wave.

The Jensen Healey's had THREE fuses in the fuse box. How simple is that? It had a Lotus 904 engine, Triumph Hullman rear end, and many MGB interior parts, typical British logic. Why reinvent the wheel? It finished 1-4 in the 1973 and 1974 SCCA National Championships and was banned in 1975 as having a unfair advantage.

Fond memories indeed.

I carry my R9 everyday.  When Rohrbaugh closed down, I bought a second R9 to have in case anything ever happened to my first R9.  Even if I can carry something bigger, I still carry my R9 as a backup.
