Naming our cars...
My 3000 has been known as the “Black and white car” since long before I knew It.
www.myaustinhealey.com
I’m now the longest custodian on record for the black and white car.
I’m now building an Austin A40 Farina.
For my American friends, it’s a Pininfarina designed A series powered 2 door saloon.
I prefer to refer to it as an “Austin Healey Sprite Shooting Brake”
Joe Armour coined the name.
Given the naming of the Black and White car, and Joe’s own car naming conventions, I’m now calling the Farina A40 the “Black & Blue car”.
It’s just the colour of the car.
Give me a break!!!!!!!!!!
