Austin Healey 50th

I was contacted last year by the chairman of the local Austin Healey owners club about photographing their 50th year celebrations in July,  Coordinating and organising these things takes a lot of time and effort but when they come together on a lovely summer day in the New Forest then it’s all worth it.  I don’t know much about Austin Healey so when 50 or so turned up it was a real pleasure and a feast for the eyes.  The oldest ones were just so beautiful.  Things you’d never get away with nowadays.  The smell of unburnt petrol in the air was a treat in itself.   A ride through the Rhinefield ornamental drive then down to Bucklers Hard for lunch.  A successful day for everyone.
