I parked up next to this super Austin Healy 3litre today, what a superbly styled roadster

Superb indeed. When I get a garage the size of Jay Leno's, there'll be a space for a Healy.

Look at that lovely wood interior, stunning looking car the Healy, the rear is a peach, bit like the early Z4's

Austin Healey 3 litre - I've always felt the Z4 is a modern version . . . Still a great looking Roadster today

Love the Austin Healeys!
A few years ago (before I bought a Z4) a trader mate of mine had a 3 litre Healey in the 2-tone Ice Blue metallic/white paint. It was stunning, and then we took it out for a drive - it sounded great! There is something special about the sound of a straight 6 (sorry Mr Bear), especially when it doesn't have too much silencing, but the whole experience was fantastic!
I'll never afford one but then I do have a straight 6 Z4, so life could be worse.

Good enough for a frosted lens cap!

Nice looking without a shadow of doubt - as are the Morgans, Daimler SP250's etc - but the drive ?????

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

I think that is a great question. We have become used the trappings of modern cars. Whilst I love the idea of a classic sports car, I fear that for as long as I have the Zed (which will be forever) I would always want to the drive the Zed.
