Reminds me of a Ford factory tour I took several years ago. The guy running the tour told us that they could install the complete drivetrain in a car in 30 seconds. I then had to ask why it officially took 8 hours to remove it. He didn't see the humor in it..

The times make me laugh. I have a booklet with the '60 prices that make me cry ;-)

It is said that during one of the rallys, a clutch was changed and everything back in working order all in an hour!

Having said that, you should see the mechanics go at Goodwood, engines are in pieces in the morning and cars are on the track in the afternoon. ( not Healeys though)

:cheers:
