Hi Tracy,
A very interesting perspective - well said. No
question that an industry icon would make 100x
difference to a marketing launch such as a 'Healey
3000 Mk IV'. The Cobra and GT40 stories are obvious
and successful.
Gerry, if you read this - CALL HFI NOW at
011-44-1225-85-2292 and let them know that you
actually designed the Austin Healey 100, it's follow
ons, and that you would like to do a MK IV
continuation. Don't wait for them to call you - they
may not ....... and tell them that we like straight
six engines more than V8's - they sound better and are
smoother. Both BMW and Jeep have well proven IL6
engines for sale right now.
If they ask you to visit them, let me know and I will
carry your bags and stuff you need for the meeting.
Best, Robert, Yellow 65BJ8 / 32038.
