Hi Dakota,
Nice to see that you have brought a Healey Sprite "Home", and espcially to almost the same spot in which it was built, shame the factory is no longer there
With regard to the Hull no's you have located, no one knows (as far as I'm aware ) of the system they used for numbering hulls . I have a personal letter in my file from Brian Healey dating back to 1998 when I asked him if he/they kept any info on the boats e.g. brochures hull no. records etc, and reading his reply I came to the conclusion that they never went into the marine business with any permanent commitment as it was a sideline to the cars that they were still involved with at the time, therefore when Mr Healey and family returned to Cornwall after wrapping up Healey Marine, records were not kept and left behind only to be destroyed when vandals set alight to the premises

( a picture of the derelict factory is in one of the books they produced) however I was talking to a dedicated enthusiast some years ago and rumor has it that the late Geoffrey Healey (the technical engineer of the company) had some records, how much being boat related no one knows but his widow (who's name I wont reveal due to D.P.A. reasons) still has these so mentioned records, and when this enthusiast made enquiries about it, the lady concerned was not prepared to give away or even copy of this info unless large sums of money was involved !

how much of this is true fact remains to be seen. unfortunately I lost contact with this gentleman enthusiast some time ago

. anyway good luck with the restoration on a super little much respected boat.
