EVO magazine Dec.2007 and issue no.111 has approx. 20 glossy pages of an
advert. feature highlighting the connection between motor sport, Shell
fuels, sports car performance and the latest results at LeMans with
diesels. Cars shown are;Audi LeMans and road cars, Porsches at LeMans,
Mercedes 300SLR as driven by Moss and Fangio and Ferrari F.1. Also
featured are Rudolf Diesel and Harry Richardo.
Why list this ? Right up there is a photo of a Healey 100 race no. 33
from the 1953 LeMans race.
One of two cars entered. One of these NOJ cars is currently being
heavily promoted as a significant period race car with exceptional
history as a Donald Healey Motor Company built and raced 'Works'
competition car. Steve McQueen even gets a mention for his 1971 film
'LeMans'
When I saw the film with a group from our Healey club it was very tense
with the camera in-car showing the Porsche on the rev. limit half way
down the straight until some Healey wit shouted "knock it into
overdrive....."
Enjoy
Joe
