impression, over the years, that almost everyone is
safer than Moss. That’s purely as an observer/listener
to comments across the pond as virtually no one in the
UK bothers with Moss at all. Yes, agreed as to
Michael’s comments regarding AHSpares. They sold me a
dud clutch and, although they replaced it without
argument, they were rather too nonchalant about the
whole thing for my liking. Despite several requests
for feedback I never heard anything. I use
Ahead4Healeys nowadays. I dropped in on them a few
months back and they gave me a tour. All looked pretty
efficient. They had small units within doing interiors
and panels etc….all high quality. Impressive!</span></p>

Healeys still handle
surprisingly well, especially
on a smooth road. And
alternator will charge a

standard generator while a
modern fuel pump is likelier
to keep working—two examples
of upgrades that maintain the
original feel of the car while
reducing the chance of being

maintain my belief in at least
a few sympathetic upgrades to

Your Austin-Healey is not

When it comes to selling,
leave the car original and

make some 'tweaks' to

suck. They're all <br

well enough for drums, but
pull badly and no <br

any difference (my dad's

(since I'll be shipping
