Pat,

 

My 1956 BN2 was delivered new to a dealership named ASH Limited, on
Guernsey in the Channel Islands.

 

It came to New Zealand in September 1964.

G'day

 

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
just have to look at the history of the Speed Weeks racing meetings as
there were races specifically for Austin-Healeys and the man and his
wife behind the races (Sir Sydney and Lady Greta Oakes) both had
Austin-Healeys. DMH used to stay with them during the event.

Back in 70s our shop had a customer who was a financial advisor to a
small South Pacific island nation that had less than 20 miles of paved
road. He had an agreement with the king that they would periodically
shot down the hwy so he could race his car around at speed. Wish I
could remember more details.
