Donald Healey Motor Co. did not build many pure circuit racing 3000's

Sebring 1960 there were the UJB series of  MK.1 type, these were BRG and 
with Geoff's input and I believe built at BMC Competition Dept.
Sebring  1961 and 62 - nil
Sebring  1963  the 54FAC, 56FAC, & spare 57FAC  -  BJ.7's - blue/white. 
Built by Healeys with a HEALEY chassis plate.( see Bill Emerson book)
Sebring 1964  only one BJ.7 - 767KNX    blue/white. Built by Healeys 
with a HEALEY chassis plate
Sebring 1965  only one BJ.8 - DAC953C  the last one. Built by Healeys 
with a HEALEY chassis plate.


767KNX was owned for many years by Ted Worswick of England and he 
entered this as a private entry at the Targa Florio in 1966 and 196?

The most famous UJB car which was purchased from the Healeys by David 
Dixon and licensed DD300 was  privately entered at LeMans several times 
with support from Healeys before being sold to John Chatham who was 
famous for his Healey racing and exploits when Healeys had all but 
disappeared from racing in the 60's & 70's. See Bill Bolton's ex John 
Gott wild 3000. Gott was Captain of the BMC Works Team and had access to 
all the good go faster stuff

Look for early to mid 70's copies of Healey Highlight magazines for some 
full page cover shots of radically modified Healeys racing as Mod-Sports 
in UK. 
'Glass fenders and 10 inch wheels.  great stuff thanks to original 
photographs from  early Healey enthusiast from Seattle Dave Ramstad.  
9One of the first to recognised the Golden Beige Healey story

Time for Mr. Bill to fill in that part of the story.. No concours cars 
in sight!
