No-one should even mention ground clearance issues on a Hawk anymore! Wow that exhaust is low!

Don't think it's a Hawk, there are way to many differences and I'm sure Gerry would have mentioned it to the select few.

Well, technically it's neither - it's a Shelby American. Doesn't matter who physically makes it - DOES matter whose name is on the VIN plate. But I know what you mean.

Never owned a big Healey, then, Stu! You have to replace the exhaust more often than the plugs...
