Product Description

Synopsis

This is the story of the four-cylinder Austin-Healey sports cars of the early 1950s. Some 15,000 cars were made in this series. The story began at the 1952 Earls Court Motor Show, where a neat two-seater prototype was displayed on Donald Healey's stand. It quickly came to the attention of Austin boss Leonard Lord, who made an agreement with Healey for Austin to manufacture the car. It was a brilliant success at home and in the USA, and was one of the great sports cars of the 1950s. Here is the story of the first Austin-Healeys: their design, development, production and production changes, road tests and reception by the press and public. The cars' characteristics are examined in depth, and illustrations include specially commissioned colour photographs of 5 wonderful examples, including the 1953 Le Mans car in its unrestored and battle-scarred state.

5.0 out of 5 stars No padding included., 10 Nov 2009

By	P. Seager-Thomas (Sussex England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The perfect book for all admirers of the first series of the 'Big Healey'.

The author has made a point of avoiding too much content relating to other models, so whilst there is a brief history of the man and the company, most of the book is concerned with its' stated subject.

The book covers prototypes, 'Special Test Cars' (competition cars) BN1, 100S, BN2 and the tuned BN2, the 100M.

Despite the cover photo, this is not a book filled with a mass of pictures of restored cars, but a good balance of original photos and adverts together with more recent images.

The recommended price is just nine times the price of an average glossy car magazine full of adverts and articles of little interest.

An excellent read for any enthusiast.
