Austin-Healey Friends
As time has moved along and most of us have accumulated a lot of Austin-Healey parts, posters, books, pictures, trophies, magazines, manuals, bits, and pieces … there will come a time that these “treasures” will need a new home. I am considering an article for the Healey Marque Magazine on planning for the day this will happen. Our cars will find new homes, perhaps with the kids or grandkids, but what about all the other collectables? I know my wife has little interest in transmission gears, fuel pumps, and starter motors. Seems like our SJAHC members also have a lot of stuff and have the same concerns.
May I ask our readers if they have any thoughts or have made any plans for the future distribution of their prized possessions? I see the Jaguar folks have https://coventryfoundation.org. Do we pack it all up and send it to the Healey Museum? My column is directed towards technical service so if there are any ideas relating to supporting technical services are appreciated.
