Broad background to our club
The Austin Healey Owners Club was formed in 1967 by a group of Healey enthusiasts with the objectives
of the maintenance, preservation and enjoyment of the marque. In the early 1990's, club premises were purchased to act as a permanent
base for members. The club is licensed and contains all facilities for a wide range of functions.
All owners and ex-owners of Big
Healey's are welcomed as Members, and more recently in November 2005, membership has been opened to owners of Austin Healey Sprites
and any vehicle bearing the Healey name. Details are contained in our Membership Application form.
Club members own cars in a variety
of conditions, from those requiring total restoration, through those that are used regularly on road and track, to cars used less
frequently that are in excellent and Concours condition. Many members possess specialist skills and are willing to assist the less
experienced in restoration projects. In addition, club members are often associated with businesses in all aspects of the vehicle
industry, including Healey specialists.
The club has a member base with many interests ranging from full-on circuit racing and Targa
Tasmania participation, through regularity trials, marque sports car racing and hill climbs to navigation rallies and social driving.
Members
also enjoy a broad spectrum of outside interests many of which can be combined with club activities. Recently these have included
country horse racing meetings, visits to National Trust properties, wineries and eateries, for both breakfast and lunch. Naturally
driving to and from the event is part of the entertainment.
Socialising is not forgotten, with one or two major evening functions each
year, with a number of smaller gatherings at member's houses. Nationally, a Healey Rally is held every year, currently over Easter.
Details of the next National Rally can be found in our magazine or elsewhere in this website.
The monthly magazine, Hundreds &
Thousands, contains information on future events, stories from past events, articles of interest and advertisements for cars and spare
parts. The club meets at 8:00pm on the first Thursday of each month, from February to December, with guest speakers, videos and technical
discussions, in our clubrooms at 19-23 Rosalie Street Springvale.
