The guide for buying a Healey! A wealth of information for little money. All the important addresses. Expert and practical buying tips. Donald Healey's small automobile manufacturer in Warwick, England, created a sensation when it introduced the Healey 100 at the Motor Show in London's Earls Court in 1952. During the exhibition, an agreement was reached with Leonard Lord, then head of the Austin Motor Company, that this model would be produced in large quantities at Austin - thus the sports car became the Austin-Healey. Car enthusiasts from around the world were thrilled by the design and performance of the Italian-styled roadster, which could reach speeds of over 160 km/h and remained in production for 15 years. At that time, it perfectly filled the gap between MG and Jaguar. Today, the "Big Healeys" are even more popular than half a century ago, and for many, they are considered the epitome of a British sports car.
