I was stationed at RAF Bentwaters, northeast of London, when I purchased my
1967 Healey on October 4, 1970.. It does not fit the category of purchased new
since I am the third owner. The first owner lived in Spain and therefore the
car is original left hand drive. Second owner was a British citizen. It had
14,640 miles on the odo when I bought it.. It is currently over 217,054 miles.

My car is a 1964 titled as a 1966. The ARMY Major I bought it from told me
they would title it as a current model car when they registered in the US
therefore shaving two years off the age of the car.

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.

As was mine, which was purchased by a U.S. Marine stationed in Okinawa. He
took delivery in early 1961.

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.
