In 1956 my uncle purchased a beautiful black 1954 Austin-Healey 100 with a hard 
top.  When he would come down from LA to visit (about twice a month) he would 
toss me the keys and say go enjoy yourself.  So my first LBC love is the 1954 
Austin-Healey.  In 1958 I purchased my own 1954 Austin-Healey.  It had been 
badly abused by the original owner and as a result it frequently had problems 
making me late for work.  In Feb 1960 my girl friend (later wife and now 
deceased) ask me to look at the Sprite for her.  It was such a kick to drive 
that I traded my big Healey in on the spot and she got hers three days later.  
This is the car that I am still driving - that is when I get it back on the 
road.
