FWIW, I'll share my little piece of the puzzle. I credit Bill Wood,
100S and
!00M guy extraordinaire, with saving a significant amount of
Healey history.
Bill recognized the import of the 100S and 100M long
before the rest of the
Healey community and a significant number of "S"
cars resided in his garage in
the Berkshires of western Massachusetts
due to his eforts in tracking them
down.
In the late 1980s, Bill
entered into an arrangement with Geoff Healey to
obtain significant
records of the Healey company, These included several "tea
chests"
full of documents such as original styling drawings by Gery Coker as
well as correspondence relating to entries of the DMH teams at LeMans
and
Sebring. I voluntered to pick them up at Logan Airport in Boston after they
cleared Customs and brought them home along with the canopy of the Bonneville
Streamliner until Bill could bring them home.
Being a responsible guy, I felt it was my duty to inspect the contents
of the tea chests and packing crates.. In the words of Howard Carter upon
peering into King Tut's tomb, when asked what he saw, I can only reply
"wonderufl things".
