What am I?

I had to recover this little beauty yesterday. We had to remove the front bumper to get it on the recovery truck.
Can anybody guess what it is? No prizes, but a lovely car.
Want clues?
It is british, 3 litre engine and they only made 25 of these.

hmmm.

youve got me, and I thought I had good old car knowledge.

I guessed it was fibreglass.

It looks very 50's bristol to me. But I dont think it is one.

Will be interested to see what it is.

May I ask how you came to encounter one?
They must be worth their weight in gold.

The coil gave up and I had to recover the car to the owners home.

Alvis Healey?

Well done. Alvis Healey 1952. They made 25, then sold it to Austin, who modified the body and called it the Austin Healey 3000
