1964 Austin Healey 3000 Mk III 007 Q inspired

007's car had many of Q's gadgets. They were all stealth, hidden. When restoring my Healey, I choose to replace/improve some of the items. My goal was a more reliable driver, and to keep her looking stock. Electronic fuel pump and ignition for instance. How about a cup holder. I know, in a classic sports car! Oh that is so wrong! Ah, but what about a hidden cup holder. That was the start of...if I want to add something, I should do it in Q style. This video tells the story of my Q inspired touches. These Healey's and all classic cars are a time capsules of days gone by. My restoration keeps that in mind. Almost every change/modification/dress up....is reversible. I am fortunate to be one of the people to have this Austin Healey in it's journey. I take good care of her and drive her everyday. When I turn my Healey on...she turns me on.

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

Hi LeoNobles.

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!

Very impressive.

Does it drop oil like mine does?

[rfchealey]

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 :)

Absolutely love the car, but your garage is far too clean!

[rfchealey]

Don't be dissin a man's garage. That's our cave, our safe place. I know there's a compliment in there somewhere. Thank you!

thats my new dream car

[nejewathebiker]

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 )
