Healey 100

The Healey 100 was one of the most beautiful sports cars of its era. Being built in aluminium meant that it did not rust like most British cars of the era. The car will still out perform some so called modern sports cars and is highly desirable. The inevitable happened with an involvement with BMC. Subsequent models were poor quality and constructed with panels from British Pressed Steel (who supplied more rust than metal).
