One of Britain's most popular sports cars, the Austin-Healey's quirky appearance and peppy performance has attracted car aficionados for more than half a century.

The Austin-Healey company began a new chapter in 1953 with the introduction of the "Big Healey", which aimed its headlights at America in hopes of generating income for post-war Britain. The plan worked: for every car sold at home, 17 were sold abroad. The launch of the even more powerful 3000 in 1959 pushed Austin-Healey sales to their all-time apex. The Austin-Healy chronicles the comprehensive history of this legendary series of cars, including a detailed look inside magnificently restored classics.

From under-the-hood inspections to interviews with the men who drove the vehicles to worldwide racing glory, The Austin-Healey celebrates one of the most fabled cars in automobile history.
