> Richard I enjoyed reading your game plan for enjoying your Healey in the future. I too wanted a long drive in one. I was much younger then. Discharged from military in late Dec 1971 we shipped our 65 BJ8 from Hawaii to San Francisco and started a cross county trip to Pennsylvania. There was 3 of us on this trek, my wife, our year old son Martin and myself. Drove south from SF then headed east on of Route 66. We Trusted the Healey and drove on. Trip Included a one day 16 hour jaunt of 1080 miles. 
At 74 years old my long trips are over and time to part ways with the BN2 and the Nasty Boy BN1 has arrived. 
You are right. Enjoy the car while you can.
