Absolutely love that car, that's pretty much my perfect car even down to the colour.
I'm using this as an inspiration for a few hidden features for my Austin A35 (not quite a Healey I know but I have to start somewhere, I'm only 18 :D )
Well, anyway, I think your Austin Healey is a much nicer looking car than the Aston Martin Bond drove in Goldfinger. A friend of mine has one similar to yours, but red. I love the body lines, the engine sound, everything. Nice treasure you have there.
I think LeoNobles misread my description. I didn't say Bond drove an Austin Healey. (not spelled Healy). Bond's car's were Aston Martin's, Lotus Esprit's, Citroen 2 CV, Alfa Romeo and BMW's. All of Bonds car's had Q's extra features. My video just ran with Q's theme. I wish Bond drove a Healey in one of his movies!
My dad bought me my first AH 3000, a 1960 model when I was 17 (1969). My dad passed 11 days before the date you first posted this video. It will be a sad father's day for both of us. Nice job.
Thank you for sharing. I feel fortunate to be able to touch a piece of what I grew up with that ties my father and I. Fathers day is a day of remembrance for a lot of us. Remember the good times. Cheers!
Really nice and nice history. I have also one, same colors in nice condition and I also expect that my sons can drive it in futur and will take care of it.

James Bond drove an Aston Martin, not an Austin Healy.

Does it drop oil like mine does?
wA7racer 2 years ago
Yes it does. We Brit car owners like to say our cars seep oil. The day you don't see an oil drop under your car, check your dip stick :)

scratch the chrome wheels

Now why would someone go out and scratch their wheels. We do everything we can to avoid getting scratches.
