Good reading!! I absolutely LOVE the Austin Healey and the Jensen Healey. I have seen the Healey Silverstone a long time ago but didn't know its name or history. Thanks John! You're the best at this!

What a marvellous Healey Silverstone. I’ve loved this car since I first viewed it in the early 1950s, liking the lines even better than the Allard J2. I wish I could have test driven it. Thanks John.

What an extraordinary life in engineering and design. Here's Healey's brief bio from the link in Johns page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Healey
Was really hoping to find a video of it on the road, and yep, here is one:
Killed 'em again John!

I never saw a Silverstone in the flesh but have always been a fan of Austin Healeys having owned two 1956s in 59 and 1960. Austin Healeys, IMO are the most beautifully styled cars of all time.
