"Long and winding road...

This is a brief unsolicited testimonial about the experience of dealing with Harwood Enterprises in the circumstances of buying a car. First, I should say that I am located in Vancouver, Canada and they are in New York State, USA. Secondly, I should tell the reader that I had never actually met Roger or Marc Corea, or Pete Francia and Ryan Beattie face to face until the car was finished and ready for delivery and now I consider them trusted friends.

The journey started in November 2006 when I purchased a 1964 Austin Healey 3000 Mk111 from Marc. We agreed that some work needed to be done on the car before I took delivery. One day slipped into another as we agreed to do more and more to the car. Marc wanted to replace the floor, put in a new wiring harness and some other items. Pete said it would be easier to do these things if he pulled the engine and transmission. I came back and said if they were going to do that anyway I would like to have the interior done and have a new paint job. One thing logically, it seemed at the time, led to another and before you could say “Donald Healey you designed great cares” we were into a major restoration.

I can personally testify that it is as much about the journey as it is about arriving at the destination, or in this case actually getting ones hands on the car. Along the way I have met some truly great strangers who have now become friends and we have had some spirited conversations. This happens when you have a professional 30 year veteran who has forgotten more than most people will ever know about car restoration and in particular Healeys, that would be Roger, and an enthusiastic amateur who knows just enough to make him dangerous, that would be me, debating about what to do with the emotional subject of “my car”.

Roger is always patient and good natured, not to be confused with soft or indecisive He is always available to discuss options and brainstorm new ideas and approaches to big and small challenges. He helped make the total experience rewarding and satisfying. Harwood Enterprises are clearly in the car business and are very successful at it, but they are also clearly in the business of measuring their success by the satisfaction of their customers and not just the company’s bottom line.

To any reader who is contemplating the journey of taking that leap of faith and buying a car, only seen on the Internet through pictures, I can say with total honesty and commitment, go ahead, but just make sure you are dealing with Harwood Enterprises.

Happy driving from one very happy Healey owner."
