Hi all.

Today I took delivery of another Healey and just completed a great 120 mile
drive home in it. Inevitably it's a 100-Six, however this one has a MkIII
engine built by Jeremy Welch with a DWR8 fast road cam, Cosworth forged
84mm pistons and a few other tweeks. It's running on twin HD8's. It has a
centre change box, with straight cut Tulip ratio gears, competition
overdrive, and Quaife limited slip diff all put together by Hardy
Engineering.

It has an aluminium bonnet and boot and is Healey Blue with a white Works
hard top. It's still running with points in the Dizzy hence my questions of
yesterday. I'm planning on competing in the Healey Sprint and Hillclimb
challenge and I'll post some photos of the car on my website as soon as I
get chance.

That means my other 100-Six is now for sale. It's a great car and also has
a 3000 engine but not Mk111. It's in the UK and if anyone knows of someone
looking for a good car please let me know. It's history can be seen here:

The new car is running strong and is pretty quick and the steering is as
light as Ive driven in a Healey. it's running on Avon ZZs. It hasn't done
many miles since the engine was built and only about a 1000 in the last
year. It probably needs a bit of a tune up as it's a bit reluctant to idle.
Anyone got experience of the DWR8 cam? Is that normal?
