I went to high school with a guy that had a Mini (pretty rare here)...

They made millions...but I didn't know they were rare in Canada. Too small really.

Lovely Torana looking thing.

Too small and underpowered for North American roads and desires.  Very rare to see one here that's a daily driver.



How the VW Beetle became such a success here, is another story I guess!  However, even those are getting quite rare to see as a daily driver here.



Then again, our climate isn't always friendly to cars...  especially older cars.

Not sure if its authentic or a replica. I wanted to ask but they'd left by the time I got to their parking area.

Coolest looking sports car my dad owned. Factory 3 SU carb setup. Drove like it was on rails. Electronic over drive that you could engage and then just flip the switch off and cruise, hit the accelerator and it was like a passing gear when coming out of overdrive. The Alpha we had after that was pretty cool as well. But still, the Healey was number one.

One of the best British sports cars ever...a thing of beauty that packed a punch.
