AUSTIN HEALEY IN SHROPSHIRE
The HMC Austin Healey is a 'continuation car' and a handful of these hand-built cars were made in the 1990s with the blessing of the Healey family. The car retains the classic Austin Healey looks but uses modern running gear, luxury fittings and a powerful 3.9 litre V8 engine.
