Hmmmmm ... British plates? Looks like the beach house I may have seen in some movies.

Nope, not British...

Can't pin down where the above picture was shot. Here's another which is described as him changing a tire on "his" Austin-Healey while Kirk was filming "The Racers" (probably in 1954)

Although "The Racers" was about European Grand Prix racing, the actors stayed in California. The Healey is a darker color than the one in the first picture.

My guess for the first picture was it was taken when Douglas was filming "Lust for Life", the story of Vincent Van Gogh, in 1956 in the Netherlands, France and Belgium.

Did Kirk actually own a Healey? My Dad gets a kick out of thee celebrity owned Healey things and want to make sure before I send it over to him.

p.s. cool pictures!

These look like publicity pictures, so who knows whether he actually owned either of the Healeys.

I would never have guess that Vincent Van Gogh owned a Healey.

Yep, it had side exhaust. Why do you think he cut off his ear?

Yes, but it was missing a wing.
