007's car (1964 Aston Martin DB5) had many of Q's gadgets. They were stealth, hidden. When restoring my 1964 Austin Healey 3000 Mk III, I choose to replace/improve some of the items. My goal was a more reliable driver, and to keep her looking stock. Electronic fuel pump and ignition for instance. How about a cup holder. I know, in a classic sports car! Oh that is so wrong! That was the start of...if I want to add something, I should do it in Q style. This video tells the story of my Q inspired touches. These Healey's and all classic cars are a time capsules of days gone by. My restoration keeps that in mind. Almost every change/modification/dress up....is reversible. I am fortunate to be one of the people to have this Austin Healey in it's journey from owner to owner. I take good care of her and drive her everyday.

You did an amazing job of bringing that beauty into the modern era. I drove one of these in the 70s and still can only dream of owning one

When you have a terrazzo floor in your garage, you know you've arrived.

Cleverly thought out and nicely executed work. A very inspirational video. Thanks for posting. And I thought the cup holder I fitted to my XK140 Jaguar was a significant advancement. Back into the garage I go .... :-)

just ran across. Subtle! Impressive! After owning 3) 100/6s & 2) 3000's (63 - 82) then going to 4 drs with car seats, am now thinking am never too old for this here in So. Calif. My son is into 4whl drive trucks, breaks my heart!

Just revisited, saw head bolt cover caps in video, years ago found that chrome caps used on old Ford flatheads fit perfectly. Too, Knew then that reversing polarity to Neg increased proficiency by %17, and used alternator, Tach from MGC (6 cyl) Neg ground, Likely hard to find these days.

Thank you for sharing. I feel fortunate to be able to touch a piece of what I grew up with that ties my father and I. Fathers day is a day of remembrance for a lot of us. Remember the good times. Cheers!

Well done. I bought a 1966 BJ8 when I was 23. Almost 42 years later I'm still driving HBJ8L 32417. One day I will give it to my son. (in another 20 years or so) The car cost me $1,500 in 1972.

Very cool, stumbled upon this when looking for a functional solution for a cup holder for my toyota corolla from 77. The cup holder was a smart solution.

I like that word awesome. I incorporated it in my license plate as a play on words. Thank you for your kind words about my father.

Hi LeoNobles. I think LeoNobles misread my description. I didn't say Bond drove an Austin Healey. (not spelled Healy). Bond's car's were Aston Martin's, Lotus Esprit's, Citroen 2 CV, Alfa Romeo and BMW's. All of Bonds car's had Q's extra features. My video just ran with Q's theme. I wish Bond drove a Healey in one of his movies!

Yes it does. We Brit car owners like to say our cars seep oil. The day you don't see an oil drop under your car, check your dip stick :)

Well, anyway, I think your Austin Healey is a much nicer looking car than the Aston Martin Bond drove in Goldfinger. A friend of mine has one similar to yours, but red. I love the body lines, the engine sound, everything. Nice treasure you have there.

Love the garage...love the car more...really thoughtful add on's...I trust you don't mind if "borrow" a few of your add on's. Sad to say I'll be applying them to a 69 GT6 Plus, not a Healy. Quality video is quite good as well. Cheers!

Thank you for your kind words. I spend as much time in my garage, more sometimes, than other places in my house. Hey, it's a guy thing.

Don't be dissin a man's garage. That's our cave, our safe place. I know there's a compliment in there somewhere. Thank you!

Not just a garage, it's a garage with a terrazo floor.

Dear Jackdbowe, the racing Healeys (Works cars) were very different from the production cars. Mine is an everyday driver, with some modern upgrade convenience items added. Hope that clears that (your) nonsense up for you. Cheers.

Now why would someone go out and scratch their wheels. We do everything we can to avoid getting scratches.

James Bond drove an Aston Martin, not an Austin Healy.
