There have been many books written about Healey cars but this one, first published in 1996 and re-issued to meet public demand, gives the complete story, corrects myths and answers questions raised by enthusiasts. Its about a Cornish father and son partnership and their 30-year involvement in the motor industry. The cars they made are still highly sought-after in Europe, the US and Australia, where many of the specials Geoffrey Healey prepared can now be found.
