[Healeys] Start of the Japanese Auto Industry

[Bob Spidell]

Read an article a while back--in Auto Restorer, I think--about the Z. IIRC, the chassis was based on a Triumph design (think the Z has IRS). 

The carburettors were SU copies made under license by Hitachi.

There is a story, possibly apocryphal, that there were three Austin Healeys in 
Japan prior to the introduction of the Datsun 240Z. All were owned by 
Datsun... You can snopes it and maybe disprove it, but I still like it.
