[Healeys] healey sighting

Thu May 16 15:16:11 MDT 2019

Aaah - gotcha.
What is that bell tone reminiscent of? It obviously has significance in the US, but here in the UK it is quaint bit otherwise meaningless.
Interested to know.

I removed the plunger (still in the "down" position), and later sold the car.  I always wondered what the new owner thought when it suddenly broke loose.

When I was young, my parents took me to Manhattan (even saw Roy Rogers at MSG) and Phffft! is so evocative of that. time  The Austin showroom was called "Austin House" and was located at  27-29 W. 57th St. from the days when all the foreign car dealers had places in town to snag the money guys going home to Westchester and the Gold Coast of CT. I've been looking for a foreign legionnaire's cap and a Bermuda bell to make my Healey driving more sportif.

I do have a bunch of Healey film clips on my Youtube channel.  https://www.youtube.com/user/healeyrick/videos?view_as=subscriber   My favorite is Phffft! which shows a 100 on display in the Austin of England showroom in Manhattan and being driven around the NYC streets:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0r9fVINJT4&t=2s
