Default Learning something new

I consider myself learned on the subject of Austin Healeys, but once or twice a year I learn something new. I came across a car on e-bay that I had never heard of. While I would not call the car "famous" it appears it did receive some press back in the day. When you click on the link to the auction, be sure to find the link to the old Time magazine article and give it a read. I'm still not 100% sure it is legit, but if it's not, it should be. Enjoy.

It wouldn't surprise me around Tampa. That's where all the circus people wintered. There's a couple small towns up there with generations of circus folk.


Cool story

Merry Christmas
