Brit classic

If you were after a quintessential British sports car, you'd be hard put to find one with a better CV than a 'big' Healey, aka the 3.0lt verison of the Austrin Healey.

Variants on the theme scored tinware in countless races and rallies across the globe and they're still a popular option in classic events.

This example is a 1961 Mk1 being auctioned through Grays in Newcastle.

It's set up as a road car and has been in long-term family ownership.
