[Healeys] Robin Williams was a Healey owner?

[Rusty Lesher]

Yes.  I believe it was a 1959 3000.  I had read about it long ago in my ex-wife’s People magazine.  I wanted to help him locate the car, but was unable to contact him.

G'day Chris.

 

I started a thread on BCF on "Celebrity Healeys" that I later turned into an article for Healey Marque: http://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf/showthread.php?80993-Celebrity-Healeys <http://www.britishcarforum.com/bcf/showthread.php?80993-Celebrity-Healeys&highlight=celebrity> &highlight=celebrity  I try to keep the thread updated as I stumble across a new one.  Surprising what turns up, like your former PM, Paul Keating:  http://fasterlouder.junkee.com/paul-keating-was-a-teenage-rocknroller/834543

 

Happy Healeying,

Rick Neville

Just read this from an old (1979) interview article with Robin Williams. 

 

"The externals of the Williams' lifestyle have changed surprisingly little since Mork. True, they moved from their rented beach apartment to a modest (by Hollywood standards) under $200,000 canyon home. Robin describes it as "rustic bordering on funk." Since his old Austin-Healey was stolen, he's bought a silver BMW. He also acquired a malamute, Sam, who visits the neighbors to watch TV (about all Williams watches is Taxi). On their acre of land, Robin and Valerie plan to add two dwarf goats to a burgeoning menagerie that now includes Polish chickens, Cora the parrot and Mr. I, the iguana who lives under the refrigerator (his companion, Truman Capote, has passed away). "My desire for material things is almost nonexistent," says Williams, who points out that his suburban Detroit upbringing as the son of a Ford Motor Co. exec accustomed him to comfort."

Didn't know that! 

Anyone know more?

Best
