Product Description

The Austin-Healey 100 and 3000, in all their variants, were raced and rallied extensively and enthusiastically from the very beginning in the early 1950s. For over ten years, big Healeys, from the 100/4 to the 3000 Mark III, were a force to be reckoned with on the track - at Sebring, Le Mans, in the Mille Miglia and in club competition - and, particularly, on the rally stage. Later, the Jensen Healey too was raced by a small, but dedicated band of drivers. This book looks at the competition history of these remarkable sports cars in rally, race and record attempt, including the competition history of many individual cars and all the 'works' cars. This carefully researched title sheds new light on the still-glittering glories of the Big Healeys.
