> Subject: [Healeys] Austin Healey book from 1960
>
> Its a terriffic little book, jam-packed with Healey technical stuff (albeit
> condensed to fit the glovebox size) . Donald Healey himself gives an
> historical overview, there is a competition mods section at the back, and
> there are tons of illustrations taken from the workshop manual. The Sprite,
> beloved of Donald, is given equal billing.

> Another book in the same vein worth tracking down is "Austin-Healey Guide"
by
> Donald Healey and his best buddy Tommy Wisdom. Most commonly seen in
paperback
> as part of the Modern Sports Car Series in the US, its actually nearly
> identical to the hardcover "The Austin-Healey" by Healey and Wisdom,
published
> in the UK at the same time in 1959. DMH always made sure the USA was in the
> picture when he did something.
