All About His Good, Bad, and Ugly Car Collection

Clint Eastwood is an iconic actor and director, and he has a not-so-secret obsession with cars that includes an impressive collection. Here are some interesting vehicles that are parked in the living legend’s garage.

Austin Healey 100M (1955)

The Austin Healey impressed at the 1952 Motor Show and soon after dominated the track at Le Mans 24-Hours. It was named ‘100M’ to showcase its top speed, and by 1955, Austin Healey introduced a high-performance model.

Clint Eastwood was head over heels for the Austin Healey 100M. It appears the car was his first major purchase following his acting breakthrough. In 1958, Eastwood landed his first notable acting role in the western Rawhide, and lo and behold, he was captured alongside his beloved Austin Healey 100M.

Jaguar XK150 roadster (1960)

During his early acting days, Eastwood developed a passion for British roadsters. His 1960 Jaguar XK150 was a clear favorite. Eastwood loved his 3.8-liter XK so much that he gave it a starring role in his directorial debut, Play Misty For Me.

Only a handful of these roadsters saw the light of day between 1957 and 1961, paving the way for the mighty E-Type. Yet, the XK150 managed to carve its own special spot in the hearts of Jaguar enthusiasts.
