[Healeys] Start of the Japanese Auto Industry

[Carr&Edwards]

Back in the early '90s, I was baffled one day when I opened my latest Safety 
Fast! (MG Car Club) magazine and saw a picture of a Miata in the Table of 
Contents.

Turns out one of the Miata's Japanese designers owned a TC--and therefore 
understood what a true sports car was like....
