This Austin-Healey was purchased new in 1963 by my great-uncle, who flew from Minnesota to the U.K. specifically to order the car in person. In 1966, my 18-year-old father bought the car after his father denied him the ability to put his summer work savings toward a Hemi Mopar . The Healey went on to accommodate my dating parents, then took them through college in St. Cloud, MN, through their wedding, and it eventually carried me as an infant.
