[Healeys] End of an Era

[Richard Mayor]

The only reason I can do this is because I have those Miata seats in my car.  And, also, because I have fully insulted my footwell so my feet stay cool.

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.
