FWIW: The green car is DD300; the red car with the white roof is an XJB (can't
recall which one right now) and the final car with the black, pre-Abingdon
hardtop is "The Chairman's Car" TON 792.

None of the Healeys won against far more powerful opposition, Lightweight
E-types et al, but DD300 would probably have been classified at or near the top
of its class. Of course neither of the others was a race car.

Beautiful sight though as they racing into the twilight.

If you get the chance, Goodwood Revival is well worth the trouble.
