Better late than never, thank you to the 31 Alfa Club Members that attended the Healey Factory visit a few weeks ago, we were given a good tour of the restoration process, the pulldown and stripping, rust removal, panel beating and new panels being rolled and fabricated, preparations for painting and the paint booth and how the painting process takes place, [there was actually a 55 Kombi split screen being done there], the engine and gearbox room, the general servicing and race preparation.
Everybody learnt something and found a good place for an A1 restoration, thank you to Rob Rowland and staff for staying back late to put the show on for us, put your thinking caps on and come up with another place the Alfa Romeo Club can visit, Colin.
