Dear friends,
Does anyone could help me with a copy of pictures of the assembly of the
100Ss at The Cape in Warwick.
For the Austin-Healey Club UK Midland Centre event, which is part of the
Austin Healey Club's celebration of the 50th anniversary of the
production of the Austin Healey 3000, we have a planned drive with the
visit of The Cape, now workshop of JME Healeys. It would be nice to put
one or more pictures of 100S assembly on the wall to show the
participants. This event will be over the weekend of Friday 19th,
Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st of June 2009.
Friday 19th June - Arrival at :-
Ashorne Hill Conference Centre
This charming Grade II listed building, set in 35 acres of
Warwickshire Countryside, will provide an idyllic setting for the
Midland Centre weekend.
Saturday 20th June. - (Morning)
Midlands, along with "HEALEY DRIVER INTERNATIONAL,
starts with a Morning visit to JME, the Austin Healey
Restoration company, in their new premises, the last
surviving Donald Healey Motor Company workshop, at the
'CAPE' in Warwick.
JME has worked on many special projects over the years and
have restored a number of the well-known ex-works cars,
including URX 727, BMO 93B, DRX 258C, SMO 744 and
745. Some of these will be on display on the day. You will
also have a chance to meet and talk to the mechanics who
originally built them; Den Green, Tommy Eals, Brian Moylan
Bob Whittington, Gerald Wiffen and the Team Management
of the day, Bill Price. Not forgetting Jonathan Everard.
It is hoped that some of the famous drivers will be present,
such as, John Harris & Clive Baker. Should also have Basil
Wales of the Special Tuning Department, present.
Afternoon
>From JME, during the afternoon, a planned drive has been organised, to
take you through the beautiful countryside of Warwickshire,
returning to The Ashorne Hill Hotel and Conference Centre for the
evening's buffet dinner with your friends. This event will also
contribute to the Thelma Segal Trophy, which is for the best overall
Austin Healey, taking into account the Concours & Planned Drive.
Sunday 21st June is to be spent in the Market Square,
centre of Warwick (See Photo) where the club will
have exclusive use for staging both the Midland Centre and
National Annual Concours.
There will be a special award for the best 3000.
So, if you have pictures of 100S assembly and you are willing to send me
a copy by mail, it would be really great. And a big thank you from my
side and the Organisers of the event.
