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

[ggilliam at usol.com]

In 1970 I repeatedly saw a Healey parked in front of a little gas 
station in Saginaw, MI. whenever I'd drive by there on business trips. 
It turned out to be a '57 100-6, and it was badly rusted even then.  One 
day I stopped and talked to the attendant, he said it must be for sale, 
some college kid just left it there. The fuel pump wasn't working, I 
cleaned the points and it was ok. I paid $350 for the rust bucket, drove 
it around some for a few years until the kids were born and it got 
parked until about 2000, when I finally decided I could restore it and 
started the 4 year process.
