Healey Books

Where possible I have listed sources for these books, but as many will not be on the shelf in your local bookshop, it is worth looking on Amazon, eBay or Used Book Search.

The latter is a very good site for finding out of print books; prices do vary hugely so you need to look carefully for a price you think is good value.

If you know of any other Healey books, let me know and I will add them to the site.


        

'A Very British crossing of the USA' - Clive Randall.

Clive is a current member of the Association and owns/has owned around 10 Healeys and now and then sets off on HUGE trips across continents in his Westland.

This book is the story of his 9000 mile trip around the USA - half the profit from the book goes to charity.

Synopsis -
Middle age calls for an adventure. Not an earth shattering adventure, but something a 40 year old father of two can handle. Drive around the United States in a 1948 open top tourer, for more than 9000 miles? It turned out to be a lot harder than it seemed...

Available from Amazon

'Racing a Sportscar' - Charles Mortimer.
