Subject: [Healeys] Thanks to those who do the "Healey Marque Magazine"
=20
As an International member of the Austin-Healey Club of America I =
received Jan 2016 of the "Healey Marque Magazine".
Many thanks to all who do this absolute outstanding Healey Club =
Magazine. I really enjoy every issue I receive.
This issue Reid Trummel mentioned the change in our hobby from the time =
people bought Healeys new till nowadays where we maintain, work and use =
the Healey cars for fun in our leasure time. Most Healeys are no more =
original, but restored to keep them on the road and to enjoy them. Reid =
says we have reached the Post-Aftermarket-Restoration Era and it could =
be parts supplies will go down and are no longer a profitable business. =
I really doubt that, as we are approaching the second generation in =
restorations. Many cars were restored 20 years ago or even earlier and =
need at least a good facelift. I just did that with my Sprite and did =
all new in the engine bay and an overhaul of the engine and gearbox. =
Result, I received a Concours win this year. Car already won its class =
16years ago at European Healey Meet.
So I think the classic car boom is going on and even accellerated here =
in Europe as money on the banks gives no profit and more and more enjoy =
the fun with a classic car. Parts supply industry sales reached an =
alltime high and are still going up.=20
Healey events are well booked and more and more enjoy companianships and =
holidays together with other Healey enthusiasts, meeting old friends =
getting new friends. Only the ages of the average Healey owners worry me =
a bit, as it is far over the mark of 60 years.
What may also change is the connection to those worked on the =
development, production and race/rally preparation of Healey cars. Most =
are no more with us and we can=C2=B4t listen their interesting stories =
anymore, which is a shame, as it gave so many insights.
Sorry, I just want to thank the makers of "Healey Marque".
