[Healeys] What's your Healey, and what Healeys have you owned?

[George Castleberry]

My first was a 55 100.  Bought it from the sister of a friend for $500 in
1972.  Don't remember too much about it (it was the 70's) but I do remember it
had the vented seats that are in the S.  Sold it to pay rent....

Now have a 54100 bought in 2000.  Undergoing a very slow self restoration.

Also have 59 bugeye that I bought restored and actually drive.

  I thought this might be an appropriate list topic.
  I have one Healey now. A BJ8 that I've owned since 1995. The "Black & White
  car".
  But I also owned a BN1 1986 - 2005, now owned by Keith (on this list). It
was
  Sam Miller's first Healey - before Sam bought the ex Jack Davey 100/S. and
I'm
  very happy and proud of the restoration Keith has done on my first Big
  Healey!
  My first Healey's were Bugeye sprites. I owned 2 yellow ones between 1979 -
  1995. The second one was an awesome little car. Far better on a track than
the
  sum of the parts.
  And I also owned a nasty boy Sprite. It was a Lenham coupe bodied, cross
flow
  Ford 1600cc, twin Webered powered Sprite (152 FLY) 1982 - 1995. Now in Qld.
  Again. A great little Car.
  So that's me. 51 years old. Owned a Healey (or more than one) for most of
the
  last 33 years.
