Just move to Sydney Australia and you won't need antifreeze in your Healey...

organic anti corrosion additives. In Europe that means that green coolant has
organic and red/purple coolant has inorganic additives. For modern cars you
can use the red/purple coolant or the green coolant. You cannot mix the two.
For older (ca. pre 1990) cars you  should only use the green coolant with the
organic additives. The red/purple stuff may be harmful for the type of seals
and gaskets used in older cars.

least for two to three years. Anti-freeze has to be mixed with
demineralized/distilled water and in the end it will cost as much as proper
coolant. It is also often unknown wat kind of other additives are in the
anti-freeze, organic or inorganic.
