A brass plaque by the workshop door is headed by the Austin-Healey logo or marque. The text reads: "This workshop was originally erected by the Donald Healey Motor Co. in 1954 for the building of the Austin Healey 100S (Sebring) and then, following the end of their production, was used for the building of the Healey Sprite boats. It then became the Service and Special Tuning Department until DHMC moved to the 'Old Cinema' on the Emscote Road in 1963." Below the letters JME the workshop roller shutter bears the legend The Cape Works. Some say this part of Warwick is called the Cape after the old canalside pub The Cape of Good Hope Image The old cinema referred to was in Coten End; the company's name is remembered in the block of retirement flats on the site: Healey Court Image
