"Isn't that the best-looking sports car you've ever seen!"
- Ian Forrest, Racing Instructor, in a heavy Scottish brogue after evaluating
a 3000 Mk II for the "A Car Is Reborn" series. I only understand bits and
pieces
of his comments--most were made inside the cockpit of the Healey on the
track--I may have to get Norman to translate ;)
BTW, the Healey took second place (of 10 cars) with 45 points out of 50. A
Lotus Cortina GT took first. The Healey only got 7 of 10 in the "Comfort"
category or it would have won. There was some pretty exotic competition,
including an Alfa and some race-tricked Triumphs.
