Hemmings Motor News Blog

Hemmings Motor News has been around since 1954. We're proud of our heritage, but we're also more than the Hemmings full of classifieds that your father subscribed to. Aside from new editorial content every month in Hemmings, we have three monthly magazines: Hemmings Muscle Machines, Hemmings Classic Car and Hemmings Sports and Exotic Car.

While our editors traverse the country to find the best content for those magazines, we find other oddities related to the old-car hobby that we really had no place for - until now. With this blog, we're giving you a behind-the-scenes look at what we see and what we do during the course of putting out some of the finest automotive magazines you'll ever read.

Austin-Healey Attitude

Posted April 14, 2010 12:01 AM by dstrohl

In February 1982, Special Interest Automotive (SIA) interviewed Donald Healey, "a sharp, lively, delightfully witty gentleman" who was the "originator" of the Austin-Healey automobile. The SIA interview not only is full of Mr. Healey's engaging personality, but also ranges over a wider territory, from copying Chrysler engines, to train wrecks, to working with A.C. Sampietro, to the salesmanship of John Z. DeLorean, all the way to the end of BMC. It's an entertaining and informative insider's look on the British car industry, in which few punches are pulled.

I found the post to be useless, as the article is shown in an unreadable (for me at least!) form.

Can anyone supply a readable version please? Or a link to where a readable version can be found.

Thanks in advance.
