[Healeys] Irrelevant question re:- RE: John Thompson Motor Pressings

[Simon Lachlan]

Is that any relation to the Boulton-Paul who made the "Defiant"? Supposedly
a fighter, it just about survived combat in the 1940 Battle for France and
then lasted about 30 minutes in the Battle of Britain before being
withdrawn. It was virtually useless, read suicidal, against contemporary
aircraft. One thing..they stripped the turrets out and mounted  one on
either side of various light/coastal boats where they were lethal at close
range.

I'm sure that you are also aware of Boulton-Paul who pressed the body panels
on Shawe Presses. Would love to read the results of your research on them
some day ... I'm sure it would be a very interesting story.

Thank you

 

I need the press advertisement of the 1950s for an article I want to write
about the original makers of the Austin-Healey chassis and not who is making
chassis today.

 

Thanks

Hello

 

I am looking for copies of press ads from John Thompson Motor Pressings that
indicate they were the suppliers of the Austin-Healey chassis.

 

It's a common misconceptions that Jensen Motors built Austin-Healey chassis,
but they were not.

 

Would anyone have a press ad they could send me please?

 

Thanks
