Welcome to the Austin Healey Club South Western Centre...

Latest News ...

Well, it would seem that COVID is still trying to make leisure time and social events as difficult as possible. We have been informed by the organisers that Race Retro and the Churchill Classic car show have been postponed until 2023. In spite of these setbacks we still intend to organise events such as the 3 or 4 day tour somewhere in the British Isles. Also, we think that Drive it day will still be on the cards in some form or other as will the Silverstone Classic and the Goodwood events.

There is no more information that the committee can pass on to members currently, so we hope all our members have a Happy Christmas and a Prosperous and happy COVID free 2022

About Us...

The AHC South Western caters for Austin-Healey Club UK members stretching from the Cotswolds, through Wiltshire, down into Devon and Cornwall and, to the West, across into South Wales.

We are a very active region, typically offering a broad range of events – something for everyone hopefully! The season usually starts in early April with a ‘season opener’, then through a busy diary of events through the summer. We often aim to include an international tour – the Le Mans Classic for example, and finishes in early November with a traditional weekend event on the Isle of Wight!

Uniquely, we also run our own competition series, run along the lines of an autotest, which is open to all AHC members and also other classic car owners on application.

Increasingly, we plan events to link up with both those clubs officially affiliated to the AHC, these being the Association of Healey Owners – for the Warwick Healeys – and the Midget and Sprite Club. Also those clubs, single and multi-marque, who are based in our area. Many members have commented that they enjoy events where more cars and enthusiasts are present and also a wider variety of classic cars.

The latest news of events will be usually be notified to members via Revcounter, the National magazine and more specifically through the Healey News South Western email newsletter; to sign up for this e-mail Tony Alden or view the latest copy on the Newsletters page.

The Diary page should contain our forecast planned events – both AHC and other events and late-notice, urgent news will be posted below.

Finally, AHC SW is fortunate to have some of Britain’s very best countryside - from the Cotswolds to the Moors - so make the most of it by joining us in your Healey!

Latest Air Smiles Day - October 2015

From Katy Burke Office and Events Manager

I wanted to share with you the link to the photo book for the Airsmiles Day we did for the George Family on 23rd October. It was such a special day and the family were so lovely and in need of making some forever memories. We simply could not have done it without you all so thankyou very much. I hope that this book shows how wonderful the day was!
