My brother had one of these--in red. I coveted it mightily. Thanks for the post.

A beauty, Kim! I had a 100-6 in the '60s.
I knew there was something I liked about you Mike. I had a 100-6 too. I had the one with jump seats which meant that the women sat in back. Love that car, wish I still had it.

Nice set of pictures of a real classic. Only car of that timeframe that could compete with it for looks was the Jaguar XKE. Still looks great compared to today's cars too. Hard to guess I had an Austin Healey (100-6).

What? No rusty rockers? How can it be a British sports car with intact rocker panels? One friend had at 64 and the seats did not move, they were bolted to the floor. Another friend had a 67, or whatever was the last year they were imported. Its seats were on tracks like most cars.
I think it was Triumph I once saw advertised for sale. The ad mentioned "usual rust."
Very nice shots Kim. I envy your compositions and exposures.

A beautiful car. Well shot.
In 1967, I had to make hard decision....to buy a 3000 like this one or a Corvette Coupe...427, 435 HP, side pipes, the works. Youthful hubris got the best of me and I went for the Corvette. Discounting the current market value of the two cars today, I often wished I had gone with the Austin-Healey.
