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.
Automotive art is greatly debated, but it's fair to say this 1957 Austin Healey 100-6BN4 Convertible with its blue exterior belongs on the floor of any automotive museum. This being a big Healey meant more aggressive styling; this factor is showcased with the car's hood scoop and sporty bodyline. The exterior of this British classic is in great shape, with the car sporting all its exterior components. With everything prim and proper, this classic sits on a set of wire wheels that are period correct and help bring out that factory styling well; the wheels are wrapped with Hendrix tires, as reported by the current owner. Included in the sale are a soft blue top and a hard top. The matching blue interior on this 1957 Austin Healey 100-6BN4 Convertible is designed to provide you with the ultimate driving experience; the blue leather seats sport white stitching and blend in well with the wood steering wheel and factory interior components.
While the norm was a four-cylinder B Series engine purring away, Austin was set to change things and create history. Under the hood of their all-new Austin Healey, 100-6 would be a performance-oriented six-cylinder motor directly adapted from the Austin Westminister with some tweaks to bring out more power. Ensuring performance that can surprise to this day and raw engine tones is a 2.6-liter inline six motor underneath the hood of this 1957 Austin Healey 100-6BN4 Convertible. While it is a reliable powertrain, the current owner reports that the engine has been rebuilt and features some freshening up to ensure this British classic runs smoothly; reported is a recent oil change, new alternator, and radiator. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 4-speed manual transmission with electronic overdrive.

With its famously friendly face that is most likened to an inquisitive frog (hence the nickname Frogeye), the Austin-Healey Sprite is a lovable British roadster that was made between 1958 and 1971. With its small road footprint and frugal four-cylinder engine, it redefined what driving fun could be. Despite being the polar opposite of what most Americans considered to constitute a fun or sporty car, some examples did make it here. Case in point, this 1959 Austin-Healey Sprite for sale in Pennsylvania. With a smidge over 53,000 miles on the clock, this spunky little car is the perfect way to treat yourself to something fun to drive, as well as a definitive appreciating asset!
The Austin Healey 3000 remains one of the most iconic British roadsters of the 1960s, celebrated for its elegant lines and open-air driving experience. With original examples commanding high values, kit car recreations provide enthusiasts with an attainable way to enjoy the classic Healey aesthetic. This 1962 Austin Healey 3000 Kit Car, offered out of Phoenix, Arizona, captures the spirit of the original while incorporating thoughtful updates. Finished in red with a beige interior, it pairs vintage styling cues with a carbureted V6 engine, a manual transmission, and several period-inspired touches that make it both engaging to drive and striking to look at.
Popularly called the hairy-chested Healey, the Austin-Healey 3000 was, as the name suggests, a large-engined British sports car, typically in roadster form. Unlike typical British roadsters of the time, the Austin-Healey 3000 came with an uncharacteristically large six-cylinder powerplant and was, overall, a larger car, albeit by not much. Produced between 1959 and 1967, it makes for an excellent classic car to own and cherish. Interestingly, in the Austin-Healey 3000’s later years, the majority of production found its way to North America. Today, we’ve got one of those cars, a 1961 Austin-Healey 3000 BN7 Roadster from Gastonia, North Carolina. Why not pick it up and make it your weekend cruiser?
The R129-generation 300SL marked Mercedes-Benz’s modern reinvention of the SL as a safety-focused, high-speed grand tourer rather than a raw sports car. Engineered with exceptional structural rigidity and advanced safety systems for its time, it delivered a refined open-top driving experience that emphasized comfort, stability, and long-distance usability. With over 62,000 miles, this example reflects regular use consistent with the model’s intended purpose as a capable touring roadster, while the naturally aspirated M103 inline-six continues to provide smooth, linear power delivery suited to relaxed yet confident cruising.
Traditionally, the BMW 6-Series was the Bavarian automaker’s finest luxury two-door model before the flagship 7-Series full-size luxury sedan. That all changed in the 1990s when the 8-Series came to be, but even now, you can buy a 6-Series grand tourer. So let’s check out a fine example of the first generation, that ran between 1976 and 1989. This 1987 BMW 635CSi is up for sale in Davenport, Florida, and if you want to know how great it is to drive, consider its 179,000 mile odometer reading a true testament to its excellence. Don’t worry if it seems a little leggy by number; these BMWs are built solidly, and with requisite maintenance, can keep going. And it just takes one look at our photos so see that this car has received some pretty good care.
Chevy’s second generation or C2 Corvette is one of the shortest in the Corvette’s story. It saw just five production years, namely 1963 to 1967. Yet, the C2 is recognized as a defining moment in the Corvette’s journey, bringing features that endured for generations. It marked when the Corvette would forever be a V8-powered machine, and only have V8s under the hood. It brought pop-up headlamps to the party for four decades thereafter. Most alluringly, it created an achingly beautiful shape that modern Corvettes haven’t quite been able to pull off – they’ve all tended towards muscular and angular – or a combination of the two. Today’s 1967 Chevrolet Corvette Restomod LS3 is a fine restomod that’s truly a one-of-a-kind machine. Sitting on a SRIII Motorsports Round Tube Chassis, this ‘Vette enjoys a 480-horsepower GM LS3 V8 with fuel injection, a Tremec 5-speed manual gearbox and so many other neat things. The current owner says that just 800 miles have passed since the build of this car was completed.
