Make description

Company Austin-Healey (1952-1972) was a British sports car maker named after Donald Mitchell Healey (1898-1988), who was noted English car designer, rally driver and speed record holder. Company was established in 1952 through a joint venture between the Austin division of the British Motor Corporation (BMC), whose director was Leonard Lord (1896-1967), and the Donald Healey Motor Company (Healey), which was a renowned automotive engineering and design company. Leonard Lord represented BMC and Donald Healey his company. BMC merged with Jaguar Cars in 1966 to form British Motor Holdings (BMH). Donald Healey left BMH in 1968 when it merged into British Leyland. Healey then joined company Jensen Motors, which had been making bodies for the "Big Healeys" since their inception in 1952, and became their chairman in 1972. Austin-Healey cars were produced until 1972 when the 20-year agreement between Healey and Austin came to an end.
