Initially, the Fiat featured a 1.4-liter engine with 93 horsepower and a four-speed transmission. Exports to the United States began in 1968, and in 1970, the automobile was modified to BS1 spec, which had a longer stroke 1608cc engine that produced 104bhp and higher torque. To make the most of that revving, happy engine, a close ratio five-speed gearbox was now standard issue. Comparisons to the MGB are unavoidable, and the Fiat feels significantly more modern and dynamic now, as one would expect given its mechanical specifications. It's not so much because of the Italian's overall performance, which is fairly on par with the MG (0-60 12 seconds for the 1.6, for example), but rather because of the Latin lumps' penchant for revving their cylinder heads to the limit. It's a similar tale in terms of handling, thanks to a clever chassis. This was without a doubt one of the most iconic automobiles ever produced.
Austin-Healey 3000 The automobile evolved from an open sports car to a sports convertible during its manufacturing run, albeit with a childcarrying 2+2 option. 91.5 percent of all Austin-Healey 3000 automobiles were exported in 1963, with the majority going to North America. The 3-litre 3000 was a highly successful car that won its class in several European rallies during its prime and is still raced by enthusiasts in historic car competitions today
