Thank you for sharing this shot Ken - it is really stunning and highlights the comparison with the Healey 100 next to it.  The non-standard features I see include the bumpers, steering wheel, wheel trim rings, stainless strip on the boot lid, an extra knob under the center dash cluster, and something odd on the door cards - are there any others, and what is that thing on the door cards?

 

Cheers

It also has a plain boot lid with no recess for the number plate unlike the production cars, I guess this is the prototype which was given to Dorothy Dean. The bumpers were fitted to the prototypes and the car given to Sir John Black, the first production car and possibly others while the other non standard features probably came from Dorothy Dean's accessory company. The steering wheel will be stamped Doretti which was the trade mark of her company and was available to fit a range of British sports cars.
