<html><body>For fun, I wrote the following article that was published in Austin-Healey Magazine, in which I discussed a few of the many movies in which Austin-Healey was a star, or played a bit role...the website noted has a great list of many of the roles the Healey has played with some very famous folks at the wheel, or featuring the car with them as co-star.
