G'day

Before I go further I should disclose that I am taking care of the
publicity and public relations for Healeys Return to Bonneville.

In answer to your question Steve Pike is reconstruction both the
Endurance Car and Streamliner that ran at Bonneville in 1954. As said
the cars will be in 1954 guise as the Endurance car also ran at
Bonneville in 1953 and the Streamliner returned to the salt later with a
supercharged C-series six-cylinder.

Both cars will be fitted with 100S engines, DB gearboxes and the
Streamliner will be supercharged as original. The bodywork of both cars
are also as original.

The Endurance Car will be ready for the Historic races at Phillip
Island, Australia in March and both cars will be at Bonneville in
September.

The aim is to emulate the records set by the Donald Healey Motor Company
in 1954 within the confines of today rules and regulations.

There is a website where you can register to receive newsletters.

www.healeysreturntobonneville.com

Plus if you ask me nicely I will send you a copy of the second press
release including photos of John Healey inspecting the progress of both
cars.

According to the Denis Welsh website they have reconstructed the
Endurance Car for a client, but there is no mention of any Bonneville
attempts.

Best wishes

Are Dennis Welch Motorsports and Steve Pike building replicas of the
same car?
Is the Welch car going to run at Bonneville?
