Austin Healeys at the Classic Motor Show Birmingham NEC November 2024
Ever since I was involved with the Warwickshire County Record Office’s (WRCO) Donald Healey Motor Company archive project (2016 – 2020) I always make a special effort to look for Healey related cars at events like this. This years’ Classic Motor Show at Birmingham NEC was particularly rewarding, I don’t think that I have seen so many Austin Healeys in one place other than at a dedicated club event. The only way to give justice to all these photographic opportunities was to publish a special report. It was great to see Mel and Mike Ward manning the splendid Austin Healey Club stand which is where I will begin –
Gerald Stevenson’s “Bad Boy” Austin Healey fitted with a GM Corvette V8 engine.
