Hi. Lived in England 56-58 & 63-67 courtesy of USN. Had a new 1958 Healey 100-6..Bought it at the London North Audley st. store. Met Carroll Shelby that day, Great thrill. Also had and rebuilt a 1965 3000. Loved them dearly.
Wish I had them back!! Did many road rallyes in England & MD. IN 1964 bought new Sunbeam Rapier in London. Great car!! Rallyed
with the Rootes Group owners in London 64-67..

Hi Jim - welcome to BCF.

I think one of the reasons the MG-T series became popular in the USA, was all the American servicemen who had been stationed in the UK and saw them on the roads there.

We'd enjoy seeing photos of the cars you've enjoyed!

I know what you mean..In 56-64 It was Healeys & MGAs & Sunbeam Alpines & Triumphs. I used to walk around Grovesnor Sq outside the American Embassy and see all the great cars. It was like a huge showroom.
