[Healeys] Healey 100S surprise

[Mark Donaldson]

Allan,

 

The gentleman you saw at Mt Maunganui with his VW camper would have been local Tauranga classic car restorer, Dave Doling.

The car you saw was not a genuine 100S.

It was a very nicely prepared reproduction belonging to AHCCNZ Auckland member, Michael Sexton.

I have many photos of the car during its build, which was begun originally on a Hundred chassis by Steve Pike in Australia, and finished by Dave.

When completed, Michael had the car fettled here in Auckland.  

He still owns it, and has raced it here and hillclimbed it in Italy.  He owns a collection of gorgeous classics which he campaigns here and overseas.

Some time ago, probably  2013, iwas lucky to be in Mount  Monanui, North Island,  New  Zealand. It was a hot sunny day and was strolling along the front towards the Mount,  wearing a 100S  T shirt and this chap in a Vw Camper  Said " I have one of those"

    Well i was Sceptical , but he gave me his card and invited  me over.

The next day was Raining so my son and I  went over to Tauranga to his workshop, convinced it would be a replica !!

Well  it turned out to be Real, a fully restored  100 S, in  white.    What a Day  !! I could not beleive it !

 

There was a rumour that the  Madagascar, "S"   ahs 3806  is now in  Minnesota, were there any updates on this ??

Presumably over time a few missing cars will emerge  ??

                                                                 Have Fun,

                                                                                      Allan
