G'day Rich
Yes real Healeys were in production between 1946 and 1954.
The DHMC must have been a busy place between 1952 and 1954 with the first
Austin-Healey 100s were being built/readied for competition alongside both
the Nash Healey, Tickfords and Abbotts.
The very last real Healey was the SR built for Le Mans in 1968 & '69 as a
coupe and then made into a roadster for 1970.
For the sake of the Healey History I believe it's important to remember the
cars before the Austin-Healeys.
While Austin-Healeys were fitted with Girling products (100S excluded)real
Healeys were equipped with Lockheed brake components.

Pat,
You're very bad! <grin>
"Real Healeys" in this case translates to Healey automotive products other
than and prior to the Austin Healey.
All production Austin Healeys (other than Sprites) were fitted with Girling
products. I don't have any Lockheed cross reference material here but for
the six cylinder cars, the master cylinder bore was 5/8" except for the
later servo quipped cars where the master cylinder bore is 7/8".
