Austin-Healey

For the rugby player Austin Healey see Austin Healey.

Austin-Healey was a brand of sports car that started in the 1950s.

The marque was established through a joint venture arrangement setup in 1952 between Leonard Lord of the Austin division of the British Motor Corporation and Donald Healey, a renowned automotive engineer and designer.

Austin-Healey went on to produce cars right up until 1972 when the 20-year agreement between Healey and Austin came to and end. Donald Healey left the company in 1968 when the British Motor Corporation (Austin had merged with Morris in 1952 to form BMC) was taken over by British Leyland.
