AUSTIN HEALEY GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY DINNER

On 24th October 1952 the Austin Healey 100 was launched at the Earls Court Motor Show in London. The Car was driven to Earls Court by Roger Menadue. Roger at the time worked very closely with Donald and Geoffrey Healey and other mechanics at the Healey Factory at Warwick.

50 years on, Roger Menadue, Margot Healey and other distinguished guests joined Midland Centre for dinner at Honiley Court Hotel near Warwick. A truly memorable evening was enjoyed by all, with entertaining speeches by Mike Garton, , and Margot Healey.

Thanks go to Mell and Mike Ward for organising the event.
