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.

This review is from: Austin-Healey: A celebration of the fabulous 'Big' Healey (Haynes Great Cars) (Hardcover)
I really enjoy the Haynes Great Car Book series, and this book is no exception.Page after page is covered with beautiful, studio style color photographs (not retouched), accompanied by clear and concise text.The detailed exterior/interior photos make this book a valuable reference for both Austin Healey restorers and scale model builders. This book would make a great addition to any classic sports car enthusiast's library.
