Beautiful car. Saw these as well as Triumphs and MGs all the time when I was young and in college during the late '60s. I've had two English motorcycles which cured me of wanting an English car with anything made by Lucas in it. Love the color of this Austin Healey!

Beautiful car. A labor of love in the restoration. In the summer the engine heats up the firewall so much there is an aftermarket fix. A plastic device you pump up with air after putting in water. It mists upon the driver's legs.. 🙂

Double-clutching for fun or ? I thought they had all-synchro transmissions?

I believe they do, or at least the top three gears. He must have been doing it either for fun or to spare the synchros. But double clutching during upshifts would seem unnecessary and almost counter-productive. Even in old Bentley's, with their no synchros on anything, you only have to pause a second or two between gears going up. There are several KZitem videos where you can see that. Coming down, of course, is an entirely different matter.

Not sure he's double-declutching on way up - think he's just blipping the throttle as it sounds so good!

@@williamkaiser8067 You're right - no synchro on first or reverse - all else synchro, but might be a bit worn on the synchro rings

I've always wanted an Austin Healey, next would be a MGB GT, and last a Ford Anglia. Interestingly enough I was in love with British cars before I married a British national and yes my motorcycle is a Triumph.

Don't know about the 3000's, but cold weather was The Time to drive my '58 One Hundred Six. With the muffler beneath the driver, you broiled in Summer. But...great fun.
