RARE SPARE
Most Healey owners love to find and collect rare spare parts, and this is likely one you haven’t seen before. Yes, it’s an original Austin gasket set (or “joint washer set”) for an Austin A90 engine, the engine used in the Healey Hundred.
And talk about complete! There’s even a gasket for “Tachometer pinion bush to housing.” When was the last time you replaced yours?
This set was gifted to me very roughly 30 years ago by John Wheatley during one of my visits to his home in Worcestershire. Given the durability of the A90 engine I haven’t needed it yet, but maybe in another 30 years. And thank you again John!

When I purchased my first British vehicle, a used TR2, a thin blue box (about the same size as yours) filled with gaskets came with it!
I’d love to post some pictures of a few rare items I have. The rarest of which is a nos FL3 flasher. I’d love to post a picture. Is that possible?
