Healey/Bolwell connection

Iain Mcpherson has also written in the AHOC's "Hundreds and Thousands".........."Not only did Austin Healeys have an impact on the Bolwells, but the Bolwells had an impact on Austin Healey owners because living next door to the Bolwell family was Ross McConnell who went on to own three Austin Healeys and worked at the Bolwell factory at the time of the Nagari production in 1973. In due course Ross owned a Nagari himself and went on to his current restoration responsibilities at The Healey Factory."

Barb Meredith, the AHOC-Vic. librarian and editor, also tells me that their club's link to Campbell has seen the annual Austin Healey concours these days inviting the Bolwell Club to take part with their own concours/show-and-tell.

Iain McPherson is also a Bolwell owner, having had for years a Mk.4A coupe, the chassis for which came from South Australia.
