Have only known a few people who owned Austin-Healys and .32-40s, but all reported Austin-Healys wore out quicker than .32-40s, either mechanically or emotionally.
When I got out of the service I bought a MG Midget which seemed like a copy of the Austin Healy. I’m 6’5” and my girl friend was 6’2”. But that MG had more leg room and head room than a Corvette back then. I own a 1955 model 94 32 Special which replaced for the 32-40, I suppose.
I drove that MG pretty hard and maintenance was expensive. The engine had to be pulled to work on the clutch...
I’ve been looking for a 32-40 for a while
