They do have the rights to Austin Healey.
Healey is still owned by the Healey family and is still in production somwhere in the UK making kits that look like Frog eye sprites and technically these are as much a healey as a silverstone or any other model.
BMW cannot make a healey sports car but they can make an austin healey sportscar. I think they have enough on their plate and the moment and at least in the short term this will not happen. especially since it would be in direct competition with their Z3 and Z8 models
