I love classic cars. One day I'll own one. Nice pic.

Carver said...

Wonderful shots of the classy car.

James said...

What a great shot! I always like your reflections. Now I see that you have a talent with monochrome too.

Ratty said...

I like the position of the headlights on this one. It's something I don't think I've quite seen on any other car.

Ginny said...

I had forgotten about this car! But I have a fascination with British cars. This one has a happy face,but perhaps a bit of an overactive thyroid! Where did you see it and what color was it? There are a few Austin Mini Coppers around here.

Dory and the Mama said...

A Bond car wasn't it???

Awesome photo regardless!

Judy Sheldon-Walker said...

Hot dog - I mean, hot rod!

We had one of those in the early 1960s, in fact that's what I learned to drive in! I knew what it was before I saw the label. Thanks so much for the great memory. Ours was baby blue.

Lindy MacDuff said...

TC said...

Is it yours Judy? Yes I am completely serious. See my serious face :-}
Great picture, you always know which subjects to choose for which techniques, those cars always looked like bugs to me.

Madame DeFarge said...

I do think your monochrome pictures are my favourites of all the ones you post here. These are great.

Sylvia said...

Uuuufffff! I'm breathless. I never fell in love with a car, but then... I never saw one of those live.

webruci said...

Amazing! This car is a piece of art, just like your pictures.

I haven't seen one of those Austin's forever. Classic. Great picture.

Madi and Mom said...

Judy and Miss Cindi Lou....oh that is our kind of chrome!!! We were tickled to read your comments about visiting our mountains for vacations. My hubby and I would love to move up to the NC mtns. after retirement at least for a few years. That is where I find tranquility!!

The top photo is so full of character. It looks as if there should be a speach bubble coming out of its radiator-grill mouth.

Wonderful black and white! I am amused with the front grill looking like eyes, nose and mouth! How comical!

The Japanese Redneck said...

Sorry, don't remember them. Great photo.

Pam said...

Austin looks like he smiling and I don't blame him, he is so handsome.
I enjoyed seeing Austin Healeys speed by.

Monochrome pictures are so interesting. Okay admitting, I have never even heard of the Austin Healey Sprite.
