'An Austin-Healey Showed Up As Well'

Now that is very nice (apart from the fact the steering wheel is on the wrong side). :kilroy:

Something especially classy about British sports cars from that era, at least I think so. Maybe it's nostalgia for the years when we built cars, before British Leyland destroyed our reputation.
 
A shot of a whole car or bike is just that....a shot of a car or bike and we've all seen thousands of those.

What P does is called 'Art' and he's good at it too. :icon_lol:

P, that almost looks like the LeMans? THe model with an adjustable raked windscreen. I think the 100-6, if I remember correctly. Only 100 made I think.


Classic!!!
 
Beautiful little car, always liked the little english sports cars. I wanted to get a Triumph Spitfire just so I could say I own a Spitfire but my little blue Miata does just fine, and I think it is a little more reliable commute car than the Spitfire :)
 
Looks like a 3000 to me, it has the bat vents windows (or whatever you want to call them), and I think they were only on the later models. The 104 and 106 had side curtains and would not use them as the the drop windshield models.

Used to own a 1954 100-4 back in 1969-73....
Bought it for $300 from a backyard and with my Dad,my part time job and a J.C.Whitney catalog, I was able to put it on the road on 3 months...
British racing green ,three speed, wire wheels ,flat head six with SU-2 carbs..no windows just side curtains....

Drove it until I joined NAVAL Air and Dad sold it a year later for $700----


What a car---

That would be a 3000, tarted up a little too much for my taste.
The 'Le Mans' Healey was a de-tuned version of the best of the litter, the alloy bodied '100S', powered by a race tuned four, very rare and highly sought after.
IIRC the 100S production came to less than 100 units.

My favorite Austin-Healey too Panther.

I understand full well why Panther takes close ups EasyEd, it is difficult to shoot the entire car among a throng of look seers and other cars. It would be very nice if we could have the owners drive to an isolated place with good lighting, but in these circumstances, ain't gonna happen!

You will note on all of my classic auto shots, that are not on the track racing involved, are close ups, same reason.

Great shot P. :applause:

I, too, am a Healey fan. I owned a 1960 "3000" 4 seater and a 1956 100-4, plus a 1960 AH "Bug Eye" Sprite. Loved them all.
