Indeed, that is a road I've done a few times, but never in a Healey.  
Last summer, my wife and I did it with an Expedition pulling an 18' RV 
trailer.  Luckily, we were headed North, so my poor wife was always on 
the side away from the drop-offs, and she was only half scared out of 
her wits.

A great road, but surely better done in our Healey.
