About the Austin Healey
The Austin Healey car company was first established back in 1952 but in 1966 it merged with Jaguar Cars, another strong British sports car manufacturer. The first Austin Healey 100 hit the roads in 1953 and the last Mark IV was produced in 1971.
For almost 20 years it was one of the most visible sports cars on our roads.
It wasn’t just a recreational vehicle, however, taking part in many races across the years including Le Mans. The car also made a few star appearances on TV and film, showing up in popular shows like Harry O, Mad Men and more recently in the original Transformers movie.
