Re: Austin-HealeyÂ’s and the Austin Healey Car Club of NZ and Others

Donald Healey Motor Co entered one Sebring Sprite for Sprintzel (sp?) and Lumkin, this completed only 62 laps and was 41st and last of the runners. BMC had a 'T' car for the Healeys, driven by Riley, Sears, Colgate and Spross, while it appears their spare MGA Twin Cam didn't see the circuit. For ...

The FIA is not only a body involved with Motorsport, it has many other interests, and AA is still a member. Who gave FIA any authority to e the "super body"? As far as I know they just took it on themselves, in the same way as MSNZ has, they don't have a right bestowed on them by anything other ...

Hi guys, A few points: The original survey came from HRC, not MSNZ, and was directed at those who had not competed at one of their events since 2017. I was a recipient of the survey email even though I still have a race licence. As HRC is primarily aimed at Historic and Classic cars and most people ...

If it's any help, I'd put money on that being a C3 Corvette with a supercharged V8. How many of those were running around in 1989?
