This one might be interesting, anyone ever heard of <span style="font-weight: bold">John Chapman</span> and his relationship to Big Healey's? Anyway, the cut and paste from an e-mail I received via a mailing list I'm on...
'Mr Big Healey' – The Official Biography of John Chatham
By Norman Burr
"This is the authorised biography of one of the best-liked bad boys in
British motorsport. John Chatham, driver, racer, repairer, rebuilder,
tuner, trader and lover of Austin-Healeys, was in the words of
Geoffrey Healey “uncontrollable” in his youth, and has only mildly
mellowed with age. Burly and genial but formidably competitive, and
not above bending the rules when he thought he could get away with it,
to many he is the archetypal club racer. John is so synonymous with
Austin-Healeys that the most famous racing Healey in the world, DD300,
is so well-known mainly because John campaigned it for decades,
notching up tens of thousands of racing miles. But his career embraces
far more than one car, and until this biography no-one had attempted
to fill in the gaps."
