From the Channel 4 series Classic British Cars shown in 1999. This is part of the episode entitled Sporting Heroes and features the Austin Healey 100 and the Triumph TR2. Narrated by John Peel.
What a lovely story. You two have certainly had a great life. And you still have your baby ! Sounds like a fairy tale. Back in '73 I had a Sprite (1968?) with windup windows and one hand - pop - up top. Didn't have it long but had a great time. My girl and I would picnic at a beautiful cemetery (!). Very English looking place. Had a pond with slanting grassy sides and we'd go for groceries and make sandwiches . With the Sprite parked under the trees and the dragonflies flittering over the water, it was quite an idyllic setting and we, too, had a lovely time. These cars certainly enhance the quality of life.
I once owned an Austin Healey 100-4, but my dream has always been to have an Austin Healey 3000....the epitome of sport car design. I also once owned a Triumph Tr-3 and raced a Triumph GT-6 in SCCA amateur racing.....I will never forget the smell of fuel and the adrenal rush of racing...there's nothing like it.....
LOL, no but otherwise was selling the Healey such a lost... had to sell my little Classic Spitfire in favour of deployment of hydrogen fuel cell technology. Do you need some :-) so I can earn back suck Classic again. Will compensate the CO2, I guess to preserve such great cars...
