I've met and talked to Hank a half dozen times,he's a character for sure..........

If you see him at an event and want to ask him about himself and the car,be sure to bring a chair with you, you'll be there a while,he has some interesting stories form "back in the day"...........

Don't think I'd mistake that one for a kit. She's a real gem! Good to hear stories like this! Go Hank!

Great story and beautiful car, though I don't understand why anyone would trade their Healey for a Cobra

I met Hank for the first time last weekend... it’s interesting how these silly little cars attract the nicest people.
