[Healeys] GOLDIE

> From reading Ken Gregory's biography I learnt the following. Ken was Stirling Moss's personal assistant and at the same time he was the Donald Healey Motor Co. publicity officer. He proposed the specification we know as Goldie which was to be a motor show special. Donald at first resisted the idea and Ken felt this was a reaction to the likely cost. When Ken said "I already have a buyer for the car after the motor show" Donald gave it his full support!  It is interesting the during this pewriod Ken Gregory always mentioned travelling about in his Sprite. ( a company car?)
What a shrewed man that Donald was with his 'by association' promotions.
