In the thrilling world of vintage British roadsters, the Austin Healey 3000 Mark II from 1962 doesn’t just turn heads—it spins them like a top! The Motor magazine took this slick machine for a spin in late 1961 and clocked it at a zippy 112.9 mph. With a cockpit-style seat, this isn’t just a car; it’s a fighter jet on wheels. Its 2912 cc engine roars like a lion, going from 0-60 mph in just 10.9 seconds. And if you’re gentle, you might eke out 24 miles per gallon—just don’t sneeze on the accelerator!
