Welcome to the New England Region of the Austin Healey Club of America

The Austin Healey Club of America is dedicated to the maintenance, preservation and enjoyment of Healey and Austin Healey cars.

The New England Region includes CT, MA, Eastern NY, VT, RI, NH and ME. We publish a newsletter, New England News, on a regular basis to keep members informed about local and national news and evWents.

What is known today as the New England Region of the Austin Healey Club of America began in 1975. On a gloomy, rainy May 5th., Bill and Lynn Wood opened their Somers, CT home to a gathering of 45 hardy Austin Healey enthusiasts who had traveled from all corners of New England. Using a mailing list from a national Austin Healey club, he contacted everyone listed in New England to meet and discuss the formation of a New England-based Austin Healey club. Before the day was over, a schedule of events was planned for the rest of the year with Bill serving as president. In a short time, the Club began to grow and word spread that exciting events were being held for Austin Healey enthusiasts in the Northeast. It was not long before the club was approached by the Austin Healey Club of America to become a region under their nationwide organization. The decision was unanimous.

The New England Region’s membership has increased to nearly 500 members from New England and Eastern New York state with many members owning more than one Austin Healey. The club has thrived on a somewhat loose but well organized set of guidelines. Area coordinators representing various sectors across the region meet at least twice a year under the leadership of a club president. The club also has membership/treasurer and regalia chairpersons. The newsletter editor publishes eight issues of the Northeast Newsletter per year. This provides everyone with a calendar of events, details on future meets as well as articles about previous meets. A classified section offers free advertising for members as well as ads placed by vendors.
