From Moss Motoring 1984 I remember when the paint was bright, the tires were new, the oil clean and the odometer had just a few miles on it. It was a clear day, the top down, and I would cruise around with nothing to do but look for members of the opposite sex. One would…
From Moss Motoring 1984 Some of us have been bitten by the bug of answering an ad for an older foreign car and, upon seeing it, knowing that we must take it home. The owner always claims that the speedometer’s mileage reading is accurate. He will also swear on the Constitution of the United States…
From Moss Motoring 1984 I received a call the other day from an MGA owner looking for used parts. He mentioned owning a couple of roadsters. Why is it, I thought to myself at that point, that most British sports car owners have more than one. It’s just like the old potato chip commercial. You…

From Moss Motoring 1984 By Dave Ramstad Just three dozen short of 72,000 Big Healeys rolled out of the BMC works at Longbridge, and later Abingdon, between 1952 and 1968. Donald Healey’s “Hundred” hit the United States like a bombshell. Its fresh, sensational lines, ample power, and very attractive price created overnight queues of eager…
From Moss Motoring 1983 It has been many years now, but oh, the shock, the shame of it! My husband Joe, confessed that he had feelings for another woman! They say that the wife is the last to know, but in the beginning I was so completely ignored that suspicion soon dawned, and then he…
From Moss Motoring 1983 July 23rd, 1983, will go down in Moss Motors’ history books as the date another great new venture began. Some one hundred sixty Austin Healey enthusiasts came to our Goleta office, many of them driving their Healeys, for our first-ever “Moss Marque Day”. Arriving at 7:45 a.m., we found several ‘early…
