[Healeys] Tour in France?

[simon.lachlan at alexarevel.plus.com]

Correction, July. Not June. Can't decipher my own diary.
Incidentally, Le Mans Classic is an annual event from now on so next one is '26. Easy for me...2.5 hours to English ferry port here (Poole). 3.5 hours from French ferry port (Cherbourg) to Le Mans. May be a trifle trickier for some of you guys!

Well...........Club Healey France is a decent sized organization. I was with them at the Le Mans Classic in June this year. They are a very pleasant bunch and, mercifully, most of them speak better English than I do French. They seem to prefer 100s and 3000s as there wasn't a single Sprite. Speaking to them, I got the impression that most of them came from the southern parts of France. (Less rain/rust?) Attached is a picture showing my red over oew just after we arrived. I suppose about another ten cars arrived to my left with the same number opposite. Plenty of Healeys.
I drove down south after the weekend and went pretty near where you are now. Overnight in Issoire which is just north of Le Puy and thence to near Perpignan which is pretty close to the Spanish border.

Hi everyone,

I’m hiking in France right now,  and as I walked through Le Puy yesterday (Sept. 13th) four or five Healeys drove through together- I remember a couple of red and black 100/6’s or Mk1 300’s and a Healey blue 100…left hand drive cars. I wondered if someone on the list was on a tour?
Of course, they could have been French cars, but it’s quite rare to see vintage cars on the road here.
