But for one brief, shining moment, the car stood on a stand at Earl's Court in
1952 as a Healey 100 -- no hyphen, no Austin. Then Leonard Lord got to DMH, and
it became an Austin-Healey. So the Healey 100, at least that one example, is a
"REAL Healey". The thousands that followed are Austin-Healeys. I have one of
the
rare non-M models. :)
