Vehicle story

Your “Something White” — Made for the Camera

In creamy Old English White with soft blue leather, this Austin-Healey 100 is pure wedding-day magic. Designed to look stunning from every side — front, rear, profile, or even from above — it’s a car you can sit in, lean on, or drape your gown across for endlessly creative shots.

Photographers love it: shoot up from ground level for drama, from above for a sweeping panorama, and with the folding windshield dropped flat for crystal-clear, no-glare close-ups of the happy couple. No door handles, mirrors, or tail lights means nothing to snag your gown — just clean, flowing lines built for romance.

From sweeping fenders to vintage wire wheels, it’s rolling sculpture. Guests will want their turn in it, and your photos will look like a fashion campaign — fitting, since this very car once starred in Ralph Lauren’s ads.


What is it? A very early Austin-Healey 100 roadster, a car famous in the 1950’s for racing in the 24 Hours of LeMans. This car broke the hundred-mile-an-hour barrier in Salt Lake, hence the designation ‘100.’

Why should you pick it? It’s cute, it’s white like the dress, but what is most interesting about this model is the folding windshield (which decreased aerodynamic drag and increased the top speed from 102 to 111 miles per hour) but really means more photos come out better. Even the black and white ones.

John's Austin-Healey was absolutely perfect for our shoot! His daughter delivered the car to us and was so sweet and accommodating with everything. We had to move the car a few times for lighting purposes and she was so helpful with everything. It was exactly what we needed! Thank you!
