My first car was a 1959 Austin Healey 100-6, so I've always been fond of the marque. Mine was tad more beat up than this pride and joy.

Car designers have, over the years, provided work products that have fascinated me. Whether it be the overall look or the interior, exterior appointments. A local British car show at Gunston Hall (VA) provided an opportunity to see close up some of the finest examples of the genre. This day's outing allowed me to get entire production groups, individual vehicles or segmented car sections, some of which you see here.

Here's the car EVERYBODY fell in love with, and for good reason.

A very close friend had one of these fine automobiles, so I had a chance to experience the thrill of driving/riding first-hand.

Limited in exposure to this series of Jaguar as a visual consumer, but the hood ornament was always fierce and compelling.

Morris Garage's aka MG. Photo by D.J. Caulfield

A visual 'thank you' to Cecil Kimber, who in 1920s conceptualized and executed production of Morris Garage's plated MG.

As a pre-teen kid, my first sports car ride was in an MG-TD, a trade-in that my Oldsmobile dealership dad acquired but my fearless uncle drove with great abandon. I was hooked.
