It would be interesting to find out the non-mainstream places where =
Austin-Healeys were originally sold.

I know of two 3000 Mk1s that were sold new in Fiji and Tahiti and a BJ7 =
and a BJ8 that were sold new in New Guinea. Then there was the 100M that =
went to Morocco and someone in Madagascar who took delivery of a new =
100S.

I have often pondered on the number of cars that were sent to India. I =
know of two Warwick built Healeys that are there.

At some stage there must have been quite a few in the Bahamas as you =

there were races specifically for Austin-Healeys and the man and his =

Austin-Healeys. DMH used to stay with them during the event.
