Austin-Healey’s and the Austin Healey Car Club of NZ and Others

[ERC]

Just for you Roger - probably from the 1989 event. Just 2 pics on here. Any others will go on my "Mix of Pics" thread.

Sometimes, things didn't go totally to plan... I believe the AHCC named the various corners after the people who first came to grief on them (or off them).

This is a great photo of Heather and Adrian Rhodens beautiful BJ8 Healey 3000 which I had a bit to do with the
reassembly of in the late 80's. It was delivered to me straight from the paintshop and I put it back together, got it running and Heather drove it to the upholstery shop to be completed. I believe it won our club concours the next time it was held.

" I believe it won our club concours the next time it was held." think that is correct and when they sold it, it raised the price for Healeys in NZ, went for around $85,000 back 89 - 90 from memory. that was big money at the time

Just looking at the " accident " photo - the Nissan/ Datsun, and realise that Austin Healey CT1125 in the top photo is there too !! The car the AH 3000 was owned by Adrian and Heather Rhodens and had been rebuilt as commented on by BMC BOY [ Ross Cammick ] It was sold not long after and created a Top Price at the time of around $85,000 - that figure is below where they sit now, but they did drop a lot in the 1990's early 2000's ..

Thanks again Ray for the pictures.
