G'day Michael
Oh dear! Been away in the depths of Victoria for a few days and I come back to
the biggest faux pas of them all.
I just have to keep reminding you blokes that the cars you own are not "REAL
Healeys", they are Austin-Healeys.
While the Austin-Healey 100 is most certainly the purest to the original
design it is still an Austin-Healey.
Generally real Healeys were built between 1946 and 1954 and were fitted with
Riley, Alvis or Nash engines. Plus the late 1960s/early 1970s did see a
handful of real Healeys fitted with BMC, Coventry Climax and Repco engines.

Keese--
You have it backwards: The proper spelling IS "Austin (Hyphen) Healey".
Only when some badge supplier screwed up and the factory saw an opportunity
to save some $$ by accepting badges that said "Austin (NO HYPHEN) Healey"
did such a badge appear on an AH.
Besides, the badges on all 100's are hyphenated and as we know 100's are
the REAL Healeys.
