Is Brooklins new BRK230 Nash-Healey their first model with a side mirror? ....................(pics)
I don't remember any past Brooklin models with a side mirror on the door.
This one even has a dash mounted mirror.
Looking past the sans-detailing on the dash, which could be fixed with a steady hand and tiny paintbrush or marker, this model has some pretty good detailing on the body.
And is that photo-etched scripts on the side and the back spelling out 'Nash Healey'?

Yes, actually...while you were waiting for my comment, I pulled 2 double shifts back to back at work and I appreciate you waiting for this.
It must have seemed like a lifetime for you!
I just woke up from a beautiful 12 hour sleep to recover.
My initial question was not a statement that I did not believe there were other Brooklin models with mirrors...it was a question, and I quote...
"Is Brooklins new BRK230 Nash-Healey their first model with a side mirror?"
and I thank everyone who replied!
