The 2026 Mid America Classic Author: Wallace, J. Covers: The Mid America Classic (M.A.C.) was held in Middletown, in southwest Ohio June 7 through 10. The event used to be called the “September Round-Up,” but September is also the month for the Southeastern Classic and has also become a popular month for scheduling Conclave. Rather than trying to shoehorn our regional event into a crowded month, we now hold it anytime between May and October. Marque

The 2026 Summit Author: Sturtevant, P.

Carolinas Austin-Healey Club Celebrates 50th Anniversary Author: Lunney, D. Covers: For our country, 1976 was the 200th anniversary of the founding of our country. It was also the beginning of the nationalization and expansion of the Austin-Healey Club of America (AHCA) from a club focused around the Chicago and Midwest area, into a national organization with affiliated clubs located across the country. This was the vision of then club president, Walt Blanck, who used his business travel to seek out and help organize Healey enthusiasts in cities across America who had joined the AHCA to gain access to a monthly newsletter, Chatter, with technical information and classified ads. The first national Conclave was held in Bloomington, Indiana, in 1976, and the first two area clubs were sanctioned by the AHCA, the Carolinas AHC and the Central Indiana AHC. Marque

The story of an American Austin-Healey Part 2 Author: Thomton, G. Covers: In 2010 my Uncle Craig began telling his brother Steve (my dad) he wasn’t using his Healey (BN6-L/2640), but he couldn’t bear to part with it either. Steve began plotting how to keep it in the family and put the bug in my ear. With me finally deciding, at 36, to get my first sports car (which of course had to be a Healey), I became the 5th owner. With the commitment made in late 2010, the check and papers were signed on April 9, 2011 (during an unfortunate trip to Glen Ellyn for my grandfather Clifton’s funeral, after 96 amazing years … including driving his ‘37 MGTA, which 2640 enjoying the view at its new home in Reno, Nevada. he had restored, through age 90). Exactly 43 years to the day (April 12, 2011) after acquiring 2640, Craig helped load the BN6 on Steve’s trailer for its next chapter – first landing in Colorado to get some help from its foster parent (my dad, Steve). Interestingly, this was 32 years after the first restoration had been completed. Marque

Donald Healey’s Scrapbook Author: Nikas, J. Covers: With the weather in the Midlands not favoring his wife, Ivy’s, health, Donald Healey chose to return to Cornwall in retirement, where the weather was far more pleasant and he could devote more time to his various hobbies. The 26-acre property, called “Trebah,” rested in a valley that swept down to the Helford river and had a private beach, lush gardens and was close to Roger Menadue, who had also returned to the area following his retirement from Warwick.

Listening to Your Austin-Healey Author: Young, B. Covers: Owning an Austin-Healey requires becoming fluent in mechanical conversation. Our cars rarely suffer in silence. Instead, they announce their moods through a symphony (or would it be a “cacophony”?) of whirs, clicks, clunks, rattles, and growls that every owner eventually learns to interpret. The trick is knowing which sounds are normal British character, and which ones are a cry for help. Listen carefully and your car will often warn you long before a minor issue becomes a major repair.

The Old Cinema Author: Healey, B. Covers: It is not easy to write at great length about the Healey works in Warwick as over the years the Company had three homes all within the confines of the town. The earliest days of the true Healey were spent in a section of the Benford (cement mixe) factory to the immediate rear of the subsequent Cape factory. Marque

Vignettes from Healey History Author: Piggot, B Covers: We commence this installment with a photo said to have been taken in one of the parking lots annexed to the Abingdon MG/Healey sports car factory in the UK. No precise date is available, but I would estimate sometime in 1959/60. As can be seen, Mark I Sprite and Big Healey production was in full swing, and although not visible in the picture, MGAs were also being assembled at a considerable rate at the same time. Marque
