How do you think they were so successful in endurance record breaking,
dirt road rallys and long distance racing,ie. 24 &12 hour duration.
It concerns me the number of people who restore their Healey without
seeing the need to purchase even one manual or book on these quite basic
cars. Healeys were one of the first of the sports cars to have the
firewall, scuttle and rear cockpit assembly welded to the chassis when
MG's, Triumphs and Jags had these sections bolted.
