I can't remember a single example of a 6-cyl competition Big Healey that was
outfitted with such a panel.
The only louvers I have seen in photographs of competition six cylinder
Healeys are the two rear facing vents seen on a number of works rally cars
from the late 50s, early 60s such as - page 77 (PMO 202) and 81 (SJB 471) in
Chris Harvey's Healey - The Handsome Brute, as well as page 89 (PMO 203) in
Graham Robson's The Big Healeys. Derek Job also shows a number of cars with
these vents (louvers) on his site www.healeysix.net.
But I'd still like to see what DHMC was offering in the way of louvered
bonnets to his customers.
