[Healeys] 100S with Aston Martin Gearbox

[Greg Lemon]

I think Kees's statement was a joke and not to be take 
seriously.....although I would disagree with him as many Healeys and other 
old cars that are literally roted away around the edges have good metal 
around the drivetrain area due to the thick layer of greasy gunk that forms 
a protective barrier against all elements!
