I'd forgotton about "Oh, Lucky Man". When that film was showing at the cinema, the advertising poster featured the Austin-Healey! That was one strange movie! The same car popped up in several movies (it could be the same car as in Scream & Scream Again). Also a late sixties television comedy series called "Doctor in the House" had the same red 100 in several episodes.
 
Saw the Japanese space opera: "Battle in Outer Space" the other night on Turner Classics - a young scientist near the beginning is driving along a country road in his 100-4 and gets kidnapped by the aliens and mind-controlled. Don't know what happened to the Healey. Completely unable to find a clip on YouTube.
 
The car in 'Scream and Scream Again' looks like a staff-member's pride-and-joy with it's triple driving lights, swallow mascot and extra instrument on left side of dash. IMHO the swallow is either a pre-war Jag mascot or an auto-parts-store copy. See:https://www.jaguarautomobilia.com/jac_2009cat.php?query1=mascot&pageincrement=50

Isn't this movie about the best in this thread in terms of Healey on-screen minutes?

PS - love the way the vampire cavalierly takes the car off-paved-roading. Guess he was strong enough to lift it out of any 1" ditches it might have fallen into. :joyous:

PPS - he could have saved himself a lot of trouble by just turning into a bat and leaving the Healey - and the cops - behind.
 
I guess this thread is about when bad things happen to Healeys, otherwise someone would post about the Father of the Bride movies with Steve Martin.
 
I always wondered how they set Herbie up because he looks as if he handles pretty well. I think I was 10 when that came out, I loved it. The showroom scene when Herbie's owner checks out the Apollo and is sipping champagne with the upscale salesman and lets drop he's looking for the 500 dollar price point! Priceless.

Ava Gardner's 100-6 (On The Beach) is alive & well, still in Melbourne.
 
How about that groovy pleated interior? He deserves to be shot for that!
