The 1969 Opel GT was Opel's first show car and the German company's first two-seat sports car since before World War 2. Based on the humble Kadett B and often considered a miniature Corvette, the GT also owed a great deal to Chevrolet's compact Corvair and a concept car once intended to replace the 'Vette. In this installment of Ate Up With Motor, we take a look at the GT's origins, its fate, and its planned successors.

In October 1952, Donald Healey introduced what was to be the most famous car bearing his name: the Austin-Healey 100. It would survive for 15 years in three distinct incarnations, gaining a six-cylinder engine and a formidable competition record. In this installment of Ate Up With Motor, we examine the origins and evolution of the "big Healeys": the Austin-Healey 100, 100-6, and 3000.

Inspired by a chance shipboard meeting between Donald Healey and the president of Nash-Kelvinator, the Nash-Healey was one of the first postwar American sports cars and the last of a line of Healey cars originally developed for a postwar revival of Triumph. This month, we examine the birth of the Donald Healey Motor Company and take a look at the origins of the Nash-Healey (along with its later Pinin Farina-styled iterations) and its short but impressive competition career.

The Triumph TR7 emerged from the most tumultuous period in the history of the British auto industry -- the last and most controversial of a long line of Triumph sports cars. In this installment of Ate Up With Motor, we examine the origins of the TR7, its V8-powered sibling, the short-lived TR8, and take a quick look at the history of Triumph itself.

We're currently putting together an article on the complete history of the Triumph TR7 and TR8, which has -- surprise -- proven to be considerably more involved than anticipated. We're hoping to have the article up later this week, but in the meantime, here is a preview, with a little background on the origins of Standard-Triumph.
