Okay, Patrick, we'll just have to agree to disagree over this.
Maybe I'm not communicating clearly here. There is no doubt whatsoever that
Healeys made their own chassis at the Cape- there are a zillion photos of this
activity taking place. I'm saying that the basic rails were welded up by
Westlands and then supplied to Healeys, where they were built up into rolling
chassis that were shipped out for bodies. Similar to what happened later with
Thompsons.
I didn't say ALL the hundreds of type A, B and C chassis were experimental,
but meant that the facilities existed at the Cape for completely prototyping
each new type of chassis from scratch as they were developed. Pre-production
experimental type stuff to try things out for the next version.
The AHO website just says "The company produced their own chassis and
suspension". Well, okay. They did. I'm just saying they had help.
I prefer the first-hand version by Geoffrey Healey himself.
Best regards
Peter
