[Healeys] Fwd: MORE Sebring 3000's

[Wm. Severin Thompson]

I rode with Phil Coombs for a couple of (very) hot laps at Road America in
56FAC. It definitely, at that stage in its life, had limited slip, as he was
able to steer with the throttle through the Carousel.

When I asked Geoff Healey this question he was a little uncertain but it was

most likely, NO LIMITED SLIP DIFF.

Also the same for overdrive, NOT FITTED. Apparently it was considered that
the 
heat and long hours of the Sebring 12Hour race was a concern.
This seems an odd area of concern when you consider the extreme hours and 
conditions of some of the 48 & 56 hour european rally events up and down
steep 
mountain passes with aq mix of sealed and dirt surfaces with on/off
application 
of the accelerator!
With no O/D the Sebring ratio gear set filled gaps that O/D would be used on
a 
Tulip (rally) gearset.
