The antithesis to your stereotypical American open-topped sports car, the Austin-Healey Sprite was conceived in Britain for UK roads and drivers. With a production run spanning from 1958 to 1971 over four series (known as the Mark I, II, III, and IV), it was positioned as a low-cost yet fun car that could be easily maintained. Of course, Sprites made it to many other countries, including Stateside, as evidenced by this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite that we're selling right now. It's received a new Oselli 1275cc Inline-4 engine with just 2,000 miles on it and is your ideal weekend toy.
Back in the 50s, if you wanted to experience open-top motoring in a British car, you would have to get behind the wheel of an MG; the tried and tested recipe by the British manufacturer had succeeded before the war and after it as well. There was, however, a new entrant into the open top market and was a part of the "Big Healeys" thanks to the size and performance they had to offer. The car present today is one of the big boys of the 50s and looks like this 1957 Austin Healey 100-6BN4 Convertible.

The Healey 3000 is a car of British descent built from 1959 to 1967. Popularly known as the 'Big Healey,' the bodywork is a result of Jensen Motors Craftsmanship that was assembled at BMS's MG Works in Abingdon. The Mark III in particular, made its debut in 1964 with increased power and power-assisted braking as a standard option. Known for their big power, the Big Healey was one of the stars of its time, being one of Austin Healey's most admired and sought-after models. This one-of-a-kind example resides in Pennsylvania with 53,647 miles to its name, waiting for adventures that lie ahead. It features an engine that was restored just a few years ago, added to what was a ground-up restoration with many original parts and even the original documentation intact.
The ‘Big Healey’ as it’s known, the Austin-Healey 3000 is the largest of the diminutive sports car line-up from British manufacturer Austin-Healey. A name no longer seen, as is the fate of many small British sports car makers, the 3000 packed, as you may guess, a nearly 3.0-liter engine, and the quintessential open-top motoring experience. This 1967 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk-III comes to you with authenticity documentation, and just 68,490 miles on it.
Austin-Healey was a British automaker established through a partnership with the Austin Motor Company, and Donald Healey Motor Company. This outfit produced quintessential British sports cars in the 1950s and 1960s. Whilst many Austin-Healey models such as the Sprite were dinky little things, the Austin-Healey 3000 was known as the ‘Big Healy’, as it was much larger and more suited for markets such as the US. Produced from 1959 to 1967, the ‘Big Healey’ could be had as a roadster or convertible. What we’ve got here is one of these British gems, a 1965 Austin-Healey 3000 BJ8 Mk III from Rhode Island with just 54,200 miles under its skin, with a BMIHT certificate to boot. Only 17,712 Mk IIIs were manufactured.
