I hope all listers are having a quite drink while you soak up the 
history of the 24Hour race that Healeys competed in for so many years. 
Eurosports is telecasting the whole race 'live' ( almost) without adverts.
 First race in 1949 then all events to 1953, back in the infamous 1955.
A short break then continuous from 1960 thro to the last entry in 1970.  
Healey was the Best British Car to finish in the years 1967 & 68. For 
this they received a special award.
A significant record for such a small team. Roger Menadue was there for 
all of them.

I was very proud to be passenger in a the works 1967 and 1968 
Spriteentry at the 2000 Historic Demonstration which was 4 laps flat out.
Check out Martin Ingall's excellant Sebringsptite.com site for a great 
overview of the streamlined works Sprites.
