Description
This was one of the cars I did for the 2007 Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix poster. On the poster, this car was in the back and partially cut off, but I thought it turned out pretty cool, so I thought I'd do a layout using it by itself.

Very nice, I really like this piece.
Former competition driver Donald Healey created his own firm to create specialist sports cars, after the Second World War, Healey's main problem was lack of capital to make his own mechanical components, so he was always on the lookout for cheap new sources of power. His biggest opportunity came when Austin's Atalntic Coupe flopped in America and left the giant British company with a huge stockpile of redundant power trains, Healey promptly had chassis made that could accomodate this running gear, along with a very stylish body by Gerry Coker.
When Austin's cheif Leonard Lord saw the prototype at London Motor Show in 1952, he was so impressed he immediately came to an arrangement with Healey to mass produce the car at his works at Longbridge, Birmingham. The cheap new car was then named Austin Healey 100, because it was the first 100 mph car that the average person could afford.
