[Healeys] parts

[Jeff Capezzuti]

I know.... it was SOO Painful to see them sit there.  You're correct
too...... very wary of people in general.........   

All of those cars sitting under cover and in a permanent cosmoline blanket.

Lotus, Healey's, Jags, MG, Triumphs, etc......   just an ABSOLUTE shame.....

I actually spent quite a lot of time with him and we enjoyed his company.
He actually took me inside of his home and showed me his "good" collection
in the basement!  WHOA!!!   :)

He even let me take pictures!  

MG, BRISTOL, Healey, Jaguar.......    I asked if he minded if I came back
sometime and brought my father - he said sure.

Then I moved to Florida.........

I too visited his remarkable place over a dozen years ago.  As you say, very
nice fellow, but wary of people in general and protective (justifiably) of
his
amazing rambling property.

I remember the Healeys crammed door handle to door handle in his house.  I
remember the tented semi-outdoor workshop area in which he had, among other
things, a rare HRG on the go.  I remember the rows and rows of British cars
parked neatly out back in the woods under lean-to shelters, most painted
with
a heavy tar / asphalt preservative substance.

Wonderful place, but you knew most of these cars would never wake from their
slumber.

best
Peter
