A good starter puzzle for Rookies!  What is this, from when - for 1 point?

WSM Healey?

Healey is right, but not entirely sure whether this one was built by WSM or not.  I think perhaps not.

Here's a rear-view - let's see if you can identify what I have it as:

lenham bodywork

I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure who did do the bodywork.
I just want the name/description of the car and when it dates from..

I don't know what "Lenham" has to do with it, but this is a 1964 Austin Healey Sebring Sprite Prototype.  It competed at the 12 hour race at Sebring, Florida in 1964, and retired with rear axle problems after 9 laps.  It was car # 67, aka 776 KNX

I found a great pdf file online about researching this car.  thehunt4healeyhistory.pdf

That is indeed what is is sixtee5cuda.
I don't think Lenham had anything to do with it..
1 point to you.
