Beautifully Fast. The Austin Healey.

Beautifully Fast. The Austin Healey. This is an unusual picture. It shows an Austin Healey at rest; and that is one thing this magnificent sports car rarely is. For when you think of an Austin Healey, you think of beauty in action. You think of an immensely powerful sports car going ahead like streak lightning. You think of a speedometer that goes 70… 80… 90…. 100 and more. You think of the sheer excitement and exhilaration of being at the wheel of a record-breaker.

But the Austin Healey is not only beautiful to watch and beautiful to drive. The car itself isa beautiful engineering and design job. Its surging power comes from a superb 2.5 litre O.H.V. engine. Its wonderfully finished body is build on aerodynamic lines for speed. Its controls (one of the results of racing experience) are handily placed for sports driving. Its boot is particularly large for this kind of car. One final word. The upholstery is real leather, the carpeting is luxurious, the accessories are part and parcel of the standard equipment. Considering all this and the class of the car, the price of the Austin Healey is remarkably reasonable: £806 plus £401.

HOW'S THIS FOR PERFORMANCE? The Sprite 948 c.c. power unit is the 13,IC 'A' Seri. 43 I3HP engine, giving a maxi-mum speed in the top seventies.

Austin Healey. For the Man in Command.

Talk to the man in the Austin Healey. He’s a real guy. "A man of parts," as Commander Whitehead might say. A gent with a flair for living, if you please. And live he does in his Austin Healey. A tromp on the loud-padal and his AH hums to 60 in 11 seconds or so. That’s performance. You know, of course, that the AH holds more than 100 American and International records. In fact, every record in its class. Pray, sir, when will you drive your Austin Healey.
