Interesting re the Aussie "Healey Trip" to your shores. Seems like it was a good trip enjoyed by all. I must confess back then my involvement with Historic Motor Sport was more Touring Car related but as years move on I get more involved with Sports car stuff. Nonetheless I had no idea of the trip you mention.

Great video as well.

FWIW The Healey Factory, mentioned in the video, is not too far (maybe 20 mins) from where I live... its quite an impressive and large all encompassing set up nowadays . Their site is impressive and must be at least a couple of acres in size. Note to self to take a drive there again to check its current status. Last time I looked their showroom had 'several dozen' cars of all brands and historic marques.
