[Healeys] 100s - again

[Mark Donaldson]

Thanks for the DNF reason, Hank.

 

And if ones surname name was Wright-Burke I don’t think ANY team would hire you.  😊

 

Is ‘right berk’ an expression you Americans are familiar with?

Nice shot-some history-this car and sister car OON441 did race at the Sebring 12 Hr. and both suffered from an tubular exhaust pipe too close to the starter which burned it up...remember S cars had the carbs and exhaust on the right side of the car where the starter lives. (pipe shows in photo)

 

OON441 was driven by Elliott Forbes-Robinson and co driver Roy Jackson-Moore. Guess all those double surnames were unlucky at Sebring.

 

You can find this information in Graham Robson's book "Works Healeys in Detail" p.51

 

Happy Holidays! Hank, healeyhelper.com

Sarah,

I’ve had this ‘clean’ version of that photo - OON 440 on 24 March 1956.   It did not finish the 12 Hour race but my records don’t say why.
