That's the car that Handsome Rob drove in "The Italian Job" Black 850i with M-Paralells.

Damn. I didn't know about that this weekend. Otherwise I would've made a special trip over there to see what's going on!

Sweet pics. I especially dig the Healy

me likes the Healey 3000 :)



PS: anyone notice how the Z4 has similar lines as the profile of the Austin-Healey's and other popular sports cars of the 60's. Pity the front of the Z4 is lacking, but it's profile is very nice.

Tha Healey was my second favorite car there next to the '53 Jaguar XK120. Healeys look soooo good, that long hood with the cabin sitting back just looks so right.

ooooh, missed the XK120....they are great lookin as well, as was the XK140.....back when Jag's were drivers cars. That said, my dad turned away from BMW when they paid Clinton to be their spokeman, and bought an S-Type.....sure does drive good, especially compared to the XJ series cars.

My dad had a '56 XK140 roadster the same red as the one in those pics. Great looking car but the engine was total crap, he blew it with 33k miles on it and replaced it with a 401cid Buick engine. Used to eat 60's Vettes for lunch!
