[Healeys] Fender skirts?

[richard mayor]

Chris,

Fender skirts...that's what we call them here in the States.  However, I
always refer to them as "spats" when talking about my '53 Jaguar MK VII.
It reminds me of that old expression about the US and Britain....."Two
countries separated by a common language".
