Austin-Healey... revival?

[Nunyas]

Eh, I was just digging through some new articles on the 'net on MG Rover to see if they had made any progress since selling out to Nanjing, and I came across this:

High Hopes for Austin-Healey Revival
and
Former MG Rover execs to buy Austin-Healey brand

I'm not sure if that's good news or bad news for the marque. Several people on the MG side of things had hopes for MGs making it state side, but they went teets up in the hands of "The Pheonix 4" earlier this year... Apparently, Pheonix Venture Holdings has made another company "GB Sports Car Company" with the aim at buying Austin-Healey and possibly MG back from Nanjing. I dunno if you guys already knew about this, but thought it might be an interesting dicussion... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I hope it happens. Would be nice to see - even if it is a niche like Morgan - if they stay true to the legacy.

I think it'd be great for AH to make a come back, but I'm not sure if I'd want the guys that were at the helm of the "modern" MG Rover group handling it... they don't seem to have a very good track record.
