[Healeys] BMC and SU Fuel Pumps

[Joe and Lenore Armour]

Success

It is good to get a balanced view of the reliability of BMC fitted 
components, ie Su and Lucas, from some of our experienced listers .

For all those successful completions at Sebring and LeMans, Healeys, MGs 
and Jags were fitted with the stuff.   If my memory is correct 
lightweight E-types had Lucas mechanical fuel injection.  As did the F.1 
world champions several times over   BRM and Lotus

Do we think C, D and lightweight E-types went down the production line?

Just like all serious Healeys, they were built in the rear shed ( 
skunkworks) by Geoff and Roger) not in some BIG Works Factory.

Also keep in mind there were TWO places we refer to that 'Works Healeys' 
came from;
    . MG/ BMC Competitions Dept. that built rally cars, not run by Geoff 
Healey  -  fitted with Austin Healey chassis plates as per std. Austin 
process

    . Donald Healey Motor CVO. were the lightweiight Healey race cars 
were built. -- fitted with a unique chassis plate  HEALEY

A Healey actually finished LeMans before Jag. had built an entry.
