Austin Healey 3000 MkII
The Austin-Healey 3000 is a British sports car built from 1959 to 1967. It is the best known as the "big Healey" models. The car's bodywork was made by Jensen Motors and the vehicles were assembled at BMC's MG Works in Abingdon, alongside the corporation's MG models.
During its production life, the car changed from an open sports car, albeit with a child-transporting 2+2 option, to a sports convertible. In 1963, 91.5 per cent of all Austin-Healey 3000 cars were exported; mostly to North America. The 3-litre 3000 was a highly successful car, which won its class in many European rallies in its heyday and is still raced in classic car competitions by enthusiasts today.
British Motor Corporation ended manufacture in 1967, intending its place to be filled by a car with a new, though similar, engine in a more recently designed monocoque MGB variant named MGC.
A 3000 Mark II BT7 (699DON) with hardtop and overdrive tested by the British magazine The Motor in 1961 had a top speed of 112.9 mph (181.7 km/h) and could accelerate from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 10.9 seconds. A fuel consumption of 23.5 miles per imperial gallon (12.0 L/100 km; 19.6 mpg‑US) was recorded. The test car cost £1362 including taxes.
The 3000 sports convertible Mark II was launched at the end of August 1962. It was a true convertible with almost saloon car comfort, a new wrap-around windscreen, wind-up side windows, swiveling quarter lights and a quick-action folding roof. Twin SU HS6 carburetors replaced the triple SUs (total area 5.3 sq. inches, a 9.25% reduction). Austin-Healey claimed it could exceed 115 mph.
91.5 per cent of all 1963 Austin Healey 3000 cars were exported mostly to North America.
11,564 Mark IIs were made: 355 BN7 open two-seaters, 5,096 BT7 2+2s, and 6,113 BJ7 2+2 sports convertibles

Basically straight out of camera, no bystanders were harmed or surgically removed without their knowledge in the production of this image! ;) It is what it was, and it sure was a little beauty!

No worries of low bridges and overpasses! I loved the looks of this lowered windshield mechanism on this delightful Austin Healey 3000...and so pretty in that cream color (or, maybe more appropriately colour!)
SS Cars Ltd was a British car maker. It grew out of the Swallow Sidecar Company and was first registered under the new name in 1934. In 1945 the company changed its name to Jaguar Cars Ltd.
The Swallow Sidecar Company had moved from its roots making stylish sidecars to become first a coachbuilder adding new bodies to other makers chassis and running gear and in 1932 launched a car of its own, the SS1. It had also moved in 1928 from Blackpool to Coventry, in the heart of the British motor industry.
Under the guidance of the chairman, William Lyons, the company survived the depression years by making a series of beautifully styled cars offering exceptional value for money although some enthusiasts criticised them at the time for being “more show than go”. The engines and chassis were supplied by the Standard Motor Company with a large design input to the latter from SS with the bodywork being added in the Coventry works. The engines were modified to designs by William Heynes and Harry Weslake.
The first of the SS range of cars was the 1932 SS1 with 2 or 2.5 Litre side valve, six cylinder engine. Initially available as coupé or tourer a saloon was added in 1934 when the chassis was modified to be 2 inches (50 mm) wider. The smaller engined SSII joined the range in 1932.
The first of the sports cars came in 1935 with the SS90, so called because of its 90 mph top speed, but after only 23 had been made it was replaced in 1936 by the Jaguar SS100, the first car to bear the new name. One of the finest looking cars of all time, only 198 of the 2.5 Litre and 116 of the 3.5 Litre models were made and with a 100 mph top speed and 0-60 mph time of 11 seconds the survivors are highly sought after, rarely coming on the market.
The mainstream production would always be the saloons and in 1936 the 1.5 Litre was launched with 4 cylinder side valve engine, replaced by an overhead valve model in 1938. Alongside this was the 2.5 Litre saloon with 6 cylinder engine and overhead valve from the start. It was upgraded in 1938 including a new chassis and optional 3.5 Litre engine.
Car production stopped in 1940 and would restart in 1945 under the new name but initially making the pre-war 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 Litre saloons. The sidecar making business along with the Swallow trademark was sold, the new company making the Swallow Doretti sports car.

I’d love to own it! This was at a classic car dealer in Washington, Mo USA. Thanks for having a look with me.
When you think of the name Triumph, you might picture a cool little TR2 or TR3. Maybe a TR4 or TR6 pops into your head–or even a Spitfire or GT6.
But did you know Triumph, as we know it, started in 1897 as a bicycle manufacturer and started building cars in 1921? Or that, at one point, the company had its sights set on the upper market dominated by the likes of Rolls-Royce?
In 1933, Triumph decided to move upmarket and started building a dizzying array of Gloria models with both four- and six-cylinder engines. The range included coupes, sedans and tourers–the latter with back seats–as well as roadsters.
The most sporting models carried the name Southern Cross. The moniker comes from the asterism–a pattern of stars found in the southern sky–of that name. Because much of Triumph’s production at the time was heading toward Australia, the name might have had some marketing punch in that area.
In these early days, Triumph was not the low- to mid-class leader it became in the ’50s and ’60s. The company’s higher-ups made a conscious decision to move toward the high end and were aiming more at the Alvis and even Rolls-Royce markets.
Approximately 5400 four-cylinder Glorias of all body styles and submodels were produced between 1934 and ’37. According to the Pre-1940 Triumph Motor Club of England, from 1934 to ’35, only 31 Southern Cross models were recorded, of which 15 still exist and 12 are known to have original bodywork like the one you see here.
These early Triumphs were rugged, durable and fast, especially considering their 1.5-liter engine size. They were often raced and usually did quite well. A Triumph Gloria Southern Cross won its class and podiumed in both the 1934 and 1935 Monte Carlo Rally.
With so few cars made, figuring out value is tough. Sadly, with rarity comes obscurity, and thus there is very little demand for these beautiful automobiles.
Hagerty doesn’t even have a record of these cars in its expansive valuation tool. We did find a four-seat Tourer that sold for $53,000 at RM Sotheby’s Monterey in 2022, along with another one sold in 2022 in Europe for $43,500. We recently saw a roadster for sale in England by H&H Classics for $57,000. If the cars had worn an Aston Martin or Jaguar badge, they’d likely have fetched more.
The reward for straying from the path a bit? You can find uncommon beauties that have some terrific stories to tell.
