Austin-Healey 3000 MkII - a good restored one (in City colours, of course) will set you back about 60 grand.
I had one of these for a day - a-may-zing!!
The competition to the Triumph TR series
Ruined it now with motor bikesAs a kid I used to love waking past the Autobhan Porsche garage on the Keresley road ,
My girlfriend’s dad has just bought one of these, I think it’s his 16th or 17th car.Sierra Cosworth.
Weren't they banned for being too noisy?Surts was an incredible rider, and I used to absolutely love the sound of the MV4s (and even 3s). Spine-tingling.
Not to my knowledge. They were getting steadily less competitive against (in particular) the Suzuki RG500, and the Yamaha, until in about '75 or so they didn't stand a chance against the strokers and it all came to an end.Weren't they banned for being too noisy?
The 156 was such a pretty car. A classic in my eyes.Is this a classic yet? I loved this car, it was the 2.0TSpark and it was a dream.
I sold it and got the 2.5V6 in the pearlescent Blue with a GT body kit on it. It was nice and all but didn't hold a candle to this one.

Where was it parked up? Looks familiar.
I saw them at Donington at a Mike Hailwood day and they sounded beautiful and not as loud as his 6 cyclinder Honda 250 that revved to around 20,000 rpm!Not to my knowledge.

Shame, as that 'noise' was music to most racegoers ears, and we've not seen the likes of Ago and Read howling round Mallory and Brands since.
Not where I thought then.That's on the Jock in Beduth.
It was a lovely car to look at and drive. Those back doors with no handles were so clean.
The six was something else.I saw them at Donington at a Mike Hailwood day and they sounded beautiful and not as loud as his 6 cyclinder Honda 250 that revved to around 20,000 rpm!
Just had a accident. It’s like Chesil Beach all over again.
Allen is a master engineer - incredibly nice chap as well - met him down the Classic hub at Bibury - i mean who else would put a V10 viper engine in a motorcycleThe six was something else.
Have you seen Allen Millyard's hand-built tribute? Stunning. What that boy can do with a hacksaw and welding kit is verging on sorcery.
We have one from ‘99.Is this a classic yet? I loved this car, it was the 2.0TSpark and it was a dream.

Twin-shock, drum brakes, just like my first big bike, a Honda 350K4. Though possibly a little faster, and with a more capable rider.
I wish I still had that bike... I do like those classic mid-late 70s unfaired bikes. Simple, and if you had a Triumph, always full of brand new oil by dint of the fact that the old stuff leaked out of them so quickly.

My first non-learner was a '73 Yam RD350 bought new from Beauchamp Motors in Leam. Went like a scalded cat, but still tractable for two-up camping touring, which I did a lot of.Twin-shock, drum brakes, just like my first big bike, a Honda 350K4.

I’ve had a couple of 400fours, both varnish blue. Missed the first one that much after I sold it I brought it back. Only brought it for a winter bike but loved riding it. Sounded great, especially for a 400cc and just a great all round bike. Second one I owned was the mutts. The guy who I brought it off had it from the 70’s when he was very young and had done everything to it, Dresden swingarm, yoshi exhaust, rear sets, cafe bars, alloy wheels etc. Still regret selling it but it did go home to Japan though. The guy that brought it had a business importing grey imports from Japan and exporting classic Japanese bikes back to Japan where there’s apparently a massive market for them.Twin-shock, drum brakes, just like my first big bike, a Honda 350K4.
