Austin Healey After working at the companies Riley and Triumph in the 30s, automotive engineer Donald Healey (born 08.03.1898) began producing cars under his own name from the end of World War II onwards. At the beginning engines by Nash Motors, Alvis and Riley were used. The actual founding of Austin Healey began with the use of the Austin Motor in 1952. From the very beginning, besides roadsters for road traffic, vehicles for rally and circuit racings were built. The integration of Austin Healey into the BMC Group (British Motor Corporation) in the mid-50s, improved on the one hand the financial possibilities for racing, but on the other hand, there arouse rivalries in the distribution of money and know-how between the BMC brands Triumph, MG and Austin Healey.
