This is a follow up to a posting about a British Car Show held in Hudson, Ohio a few weeks ago. My first British Car Show posting was on July 16th. This posting starts with the lower cost imports that those of us who had British sports cars probably had, MGs, Triumphs and Austin Healeys. It's followed by the more expensive, exotic cars, some of which I never heard of. Hope you enjoy these as much as the first posting.

Love British cars! So many great contributions to the automotive world! If I HAD to choose, to drive around for the rest of my life, I'd go with either of these Healy 3000s, even though I do lust after the F Type Jag.

I had a 100-6 before the roll-up windows and loved it. I think that Austin Healey 3000 body style is a timeless classic. They look as good as or better than anything sold today. That F Type is the answer to someone looking for an affordable sports car with great looks and great handling.

Drool . . . . I had a 1959 Austin Healy Sprite and my wife an MGB. "Those were the days, my friend."

There's a lot of that going around. Glad you looked in.

Thanks for looking in and the thumbs up Brian. In addition to being able to take so many great pictures all at one time, I got to talk to all the owners about their cars and each kind had it's own little idiosyncrasies that are always memorable. And one thing most of those cars had in common was Lucas Electronics and the funny (now) stories.

It brought back memories of driving a friend's MGTF in the mid fifties back in Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe).

Thanks again for looking in Joe. The British cars have an almost cult following which is more than the Japanese cars, which are arguably better, can manage to do.
