Old English sports cars evoke a long-ago life

Long ago in another life I drove a friend's Austen Healey 3000 across the Georgia Viaduct. The thrill of speed was accompanied by the knocking of worn engine bearings.

I also re-upholstered seats and replaced carpets in Triumphs like the TR3 below, called a "rolling sculpture" by Hemmings.

Both these old classic convertibles were out and about on the streets of the charming island town of Sidney the first weekend in October.
