Patrick,
You may have to add: Austin-Healeys were built by BMC in Longbridge and
Abingdon and not by Healey, except the first 20.
So we may have to call them badge engineered MGs.

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.
