I came across the attached photo and started thinking of the various ways we misused the Healey over the years by using it as a pickup truck. I can recall using it to haul bales of straw. Two will fit in the back seat…and then you’ll be picking bits of straw out of the carpeting for a long time to come. I also used to haul my lawnmower in the boot. Remove the spare, fold down the handle on the mower, and it fits right in, with the wheels sitting between the shroud and the bumper. Tie down the boot lid and you’re good to go. I drove all over mowing lawns for my mom when she was selling real estate. But the craziest was when my dad and I used it to haul two balled trees! That’s my dad and me (with the afro), probably in 1979.
Today, my dad is gone (I miss him…), I have a huge pickup for hauling, and the Healey has been perfectly restored. Hmmm. Those were nice times with my dad, the Healey a bit beat up but well loved, and some creative uses for an old British sports car!
What crazy things have you done with (to) your Healey?
