A quickie as I dash out the door for a meeting:
Nanjing Automobile (Group) Corporation and Healey Automobile Consultants Limited, in conjunction with HFI Automotive Ltd, are delighted to announce their intention to collaborate with each other on the future development of the Healey and Austin Healey brands and sports cars bearing their name. On the surface, this is good news and shows
NAC knows that, in order to grow, it needs strong
brands.
The down side is the potential, given the company’s relatively limited resources at present, of the
MG TF appearing as the Sprite Mk V.
More likely it’s a Austin-Healey 3000 successor that HFI has planned, but was stuck given that the Austin name is owned by NAC these days. Let’s hope so.
