I'm a bit reluctant to unlock this as there isn't much more to add.
I'd just like to see D-type add the final touch for his point.

Are you there D-type?!

@D-type: Google it and you will find it in a few minutes. I basically don't want to 'steal' it. Somehow it doesn't feel right.

What's this (yes, I know it's a repost but I don't think it got its full and correct name last time around) - for 1 point?:

In view of the oncoming break up with BMC, Healey now based his designs on Vauxhall components. Vauxhall had recently introduced a new ‘slant’ 2 liter 4 cylinder engine. Using this engine made a low bonnet possible. Donald Healey named his project ‘X500’.
CR4804/2/198 &199 The Healey X500 project prototype. Donald and Geoffrey had already anticipated the end of the ‘Big Healey’ contact with British Leyland and had started looking at a replacement. Eventually this turned into the Jensen-Healey. But the X500 was pre Jensen and Kjell Qvale.

Exactly!  Nothing to add.
This is actually a repost but last time it didn't have the X500 name so I'll have to merge it and change the heading.
Well done.
