Fast and powerful, the Austin-Healey 3000 joined familiar aspects of the classic English roadster with the oomph of a six-cylinder, three-liter engine. Photo: Mark Faviell.
Initially built for export only, the Jaguar XK150 was produced as a styling stopgap between the XK140 and the revolutionary E-Type that followed. It bore a family resemblance to the XK120 and XK140, but was radically upgraded. Photo: Mark Faviell.
