This beautifully produced commemorative edition features period and modern color photos, and a complete history chronicling racing and rallying exploits and road cars. The Austin-Healey is one of the iconic British sports cars, and this story begins with the first model unveiled in 1952 and continues through the last car, a 3000 Mk111, rolled off the production line in 1967. By that time, over 73,000 cars had been built, with 75 percent of production exported to the U.S. All variants the four-and six-cylinder Healey 100s and the later 3000 model are covered.
