When Donald negotiated his agreement with Austin he kept exclusive sales
access to the US airbases in UK. He knew who had the money and the cheap
airfreight home and zero or low import taxes. Cunning Donald. I
understand that many US servicemen with little interest in a Healey did
it for the money.

Regarding the left hand drive - many Healeys were bought LHD by US air
force personnel for taking home after their tour of duty. The USAF had
the use of several RAF bases for many years after WW2.?
