I’ve had an addiction to these cars for a long time, and when my father bought himself a '66 MK. III 3000 I couldnt have been happier. Now with a sleek redesign an independant seems to be stepping up with a new 21st century Healey.

The car is supposed to be unvieled at the London Auto Expo (July 20th), rumors are talking about a 355hp W8, with MSRP starting around $35k (USD). Personally, if it looks like the artist rendition… I’ll be VERY happy. Hopefully they’ll be successful and be able to review the fixed back coupe that Austin Healey only made two concept cars of.

Look out TVR, Weismann, there is a true british roadster in the mix now 😉

Looks good, except for the whitewall tires…

I like it…my father also drove Austin Healy’s for quite a while. Too bad he never hung onto them from his youth. Maybe he will have a 2nd mid life crisis and pick one up :tup:
