[Healeys] Most Successful 6 cyl Austin Healey Racer

[Patrick and Caroline Quinn]

G'day Alan

Don't you just hate pedants?

Are you meaning race or rally cars?

URX 727 was a Works Rally car and not a race car, however when it was in use
by BMC it was successful having won the 1960 Liege-Rome-Liege and first in
class for the same event as well as the Tulip and Alpine of the same year.

Looking at both race and rally cars it certainly became well known, but I
would say that the original UJB 143 would top them all. Originally built for
Sebring 1960 and later ran at Le Mans and went on in the hands of John
Chatham to be known throughout the UK and AH world as DD 300.

All  -

I'm just curious, which of the factory race cars, or private team race cars
would the list consider to be the most successful / most famous?

Would it be URX 727 ?

Hope I don't set off a civil war over this question!

Cheers,

Alan
