The Triad Austin Healey Club was formed in 1979 to preserve the breed (or so we thought). A funny thing happened over the years. We discovered that the cars were great but the owners were greater. The friendships and bonds that have come about through these cars have been the strongest ones that you will ever find. I personally have met perfect strangers that have done more for me in times of need than my own family. The friendships are now worldwide. So as times go by our mission statement has changed. We hope we may have the opportunity to bless others we meet across this country and world as much as they have blessed us; and still preserve the breed.

I'm a relatively
new member to the Triad Club, but I've been
into Healeys ever since my dad dragged me to
a Healey Club of Oregon meeting.
I soon found myself
working on them (out of necessity since my
dad has more ambition than mechanical
ability!)
A friend of my dad's,
attempting to teach me how to "feather
paint" on a 100-4
Working on the 240Z
powered 100-6 bn4, in high school (cool
