Dear Sir,
My name is Cameron Sell, and I currently race a 1959 3000 Mk 1 in New South
Wales, Australia. I enjoyed your pictures on the internet, and was
wondering whether you might be able to answer a few questions for me.
The car currently runs in the New South Wales Marque Sportscar
Championship, and is very competitive. The rules / regulations for the
championship are similar to those of the 'Modsports' phase in England
during the early seventies.
The motor was built in Melbourne, Australia using a variety of parts from
Dennis Welch in England. The car runs four wheel ventilated discs, and has
a four speed Holinger gearbox with Healey overdrive. Under the current
regulations, cars over three litres can run wheel / tyre combinations up to
12" in width. I am using 10" rims with 11" Avon slicks. The guards are
fibreglass to cover the rims (I still have the originals - though they
wouldn't fit!), and I have fitted a fibreglass boot and bonnet.
I realise that these modifications are not to everyone's liking - however
this is the direction that I have chosen to go and I am very satisified
with the amount of success that I am having with the car.
What I was wondering was whether you new of anybody in the US who is
running a Big Healey with similar modifications. Please email me at
c.sell@uws.edu.au.
Regards,
Cameron Sell
New South Wales,
Australia.
