[Healeys] Ruddspeed

[Bruce Steele]

"Cooperman" in the UK posted on 3/8/2017 in British Car Forum that he had
acquired these; as they appear in the eBay pictures they look to be
untouched since the BCF pictures.  Interesting posts on this thread:

I am surprised that it says 100/6. As far as I am aware only one works
100/6 was fitted with triple carbs and that was PMO 203 after its works
rallying career, when Bobby Parkes bought it from BMC in it in 1960.
They were 2" HD8 SUs. He told me that he didn't change the mecahical spec.
Since that car is widely believed to have been crashed and written off (and
there is still room for a little bit of doubt about that) it would either
mean a near-miracle that the car had survived and been fouond or that just
the carbs and manifold had.

Checking against a works build-list that I have for UJB 144 at Sebring in
1960 and that again used triple HD8s, not HD6s. The spec is Special Engine
290.

Interesting :-)
