AUSTIN-HEALEY RISES AGAIN
Will Austin-Healey rise again? As previewed on PistonHeads in October, a new model, the 5000, could be here in time for the British Motor Show next summer.
It'll be a long-nosed, rear-driven two-seater propelled by a 385bhp 5-litre V8 modded from the Ford Mustang's quad-cam lump, and be based around the underpinnings of the MG SV coup� -- all with the aim of recreating the wonderful 100-4, which made a huge splash at the motor show in 1952.
