1961 Bug-eyed Sprite - my very first car! Bought it with my dad when I was 16 for, I thnk, $1,000. A ton of money back then but what a fun first ride. Wish I had it today....loved those plastic sliding window! | ||

Great car... I also like the 3000 tri-carbs. My wife loves A-H's. The Brits built a lot of GREAT cars. | ||

my dad has a 100 bn4. there were only a handful of reall 100 m's but many people have modified their plain 100's to look an m.....so beware. very underpowered, strange driving position, overheats quickly, (its a 50 year old car so whaddya expect.) but great presence, and sound. just don't try and make any cross country trips in it.... for more detailed buying tips, there are a couple of great books ('buyer's guide') with big color photos etc. | ||

I was just driving home after doing some studying and I drove by a parked Austin Healey 100M. I never really had any interest in the cars until I saw this one tonight. Car has great lines, but after some quick investigation it seems to lack in the horsepower department. Still looks like a fun car to tool around town in. Any thoughts? Here are some pics my friend and I snapped. Sorry that the pics are so dark, we just saw the car parked on the side of the street here in New Orleans and hoped the flash would help!      |
