WHY YOU SHOULD DRIVE THIS CAR...
This is one of those proper bugs-in-teeth British sportscars that everyone seems to love. As British as pie, mash and a pint o' best, the "Big Healey" represents the classic roadster recipe of strong straight six engine, long bonnet, low slung-back stance and a deep, fruity exhaust note. It's a recipe that's still used today by the likes of TVR and even BMW. Is the original still best? Join us soon for the Definitive Motors test to experience it for yourself.
