Registrations for Conclave in Kingston are arriving daily. There are currently
almost 200 registered and the Ambassador hotel only has 250 rooms. There are
other hotels close by (a Comfort Inn 2 Blocks away and Best Western 6 blocks
away). If you want to stay at the host hotel, please register soon.
We are looking forward to three distinguished Healey guests joining us from
overseas.
John Sprinzel is synonymous with the great Sebring Sprite racing cars and was
a BMC race and rally driver in the 1960's. He is the founder of Speedwell
Racing Equipment and former owner of John Sprinzel Racing Limited that sold
many works Healeys. John has written a book called "Spritely Years" and is an
entertaining guest speaker.
Ann Riley (Wisdom) is one of the most successful big Healey navigators ever.
Debuting with her father Tommy in the 1957 Italian Sestriere Rally with the
first 6 cylinder rally car UOC741, Ann was the successful navigator to Pat
Moss, the sister of Stirling, in international rallying. Ann and Pat won many
trophies including outright victory in the 1960 Liege event and a Class win in
the 1960 Alpine Rally.
Peter Riley is a former BMC works rally and test driver. Peter chalked up the
3000s first International Class victory in the 1959 Liege-Rome-Liege rally
and drove UJB143 (now DD300) with Jack Sears at the 1960 LeMans. He currently
owns a 100-6 works car VOK490.
Copies of the new John Baggott book "Big Healeys in Competition" with foreword
by Peter Riley will be available for sale and signing by our guests.
Based on experience from previous Conclaves, it has been decided that this
year a repair facility will be available on site in the parking lot of the
host hotel.
Autofarm Limited, the well known Healey parts, repair, & restoration facility
will be available to assist you with any problems you may encounter with your
Healey, during your stay at Conclave. From a flat tire to a split brake hose
to a broken exhaust or any other Healey problem that may make your stay any
less enjoyable than it should be. A technician will be on duty during the day
every day for your convenience, and at other times by appointment.
A full range of parts will be available along with tires & tubes if you should
need anything.
We look forward to making your stay at Conclave as trouble free and enjoyable
as possible.
