But the cheeky little Austin-Healey Sprite and the rugged ‘Big Healey’ with its muscular good looks are only part of a fascinating story that stretches back to the glory days of pre-war rallying and ends with the ill-fated Jensen-Healey. All this and more is told in the latest title in Haynes’s acclaimed ‘Classic Makes’ series – along with practical guidance in the form of driving impressions and buying hints, based on the author’s personal experience of most o
Austin Healey: The bulldog breed BB As the original owner of a 3000 MKII BN7, the rather rare two seater, three carb North American car, I demonstrate a certain affinity for these cars. And also this book. While there are already plenty of excellent volumes covering Healeys, this one really does go a long way toward "filling in the blanks". The very early Healey efforts, show cars, and one-offs receive more than their fair share of pages. And that is my only-slight disappointment. A little more coverage of the standard production cars ( there were a "few" LHD cars!) would provide a bit more balance and give me a reason to give. A worthwhile addition to my collection of a dozen or so Healey books. Great book! Lots of new photos unseen elsewhere. I rate it behind the Haynes Great Cars book on Healeys and behind Piggot's Healey Hundred in Detail.. A must for Big Healy fans! Very comprehensive! All I need to complete other sources. Some facts not known to me before. Highly recommended to Big Healy restorers
