I had an Austin Healy Sprite in the early 70's. Red with wire wheels.

Re bakers inquiry I had a Austin Healey 3000 in 1961 I only wish I still had it now as it would be worth a small fortune

To have owned an Healey 3000 in 1961 you mustn't have been short of money considering they were (and probably always been) an expensive classic sportscar like the E-Type. And with the prices they now fetch I'm not surprised you wish you still had it considering they fetch upwards of 80 grand in today's insane market, but that depends on condition, and most in prestine nick have had about 100k spent on restoring them. They were, like most cars of the day, complete rust buckets.
