Donald Healey Motor Co. did not build many pure circuit racing 3000's
Sebring 1960 there were the UJB series of MK.1 type, these were BRG and
with Geoff's input and I believe built at BMC Competition Dept.
Sebring 1961 and 62 - nil
Sebring 1963 the 54FAC, 56FAC, & spare 57FAC - BJ.7's - blue/white.
Built by Healeys with a HEALEY chassis plate.( see Bill Emerson book)
Sebring 1964 only one BJ.7 - 767KNX blue/white. Built by Healeys
with a HEALEY chassis plate
Sebring 1965 only one BJ.8 - DAC953C the last one. Built by Healeys
with a HEALEY chassis plate.
767KNX was owned for many years by Ted Worswick of England and he
entered this as a private entry at the Targa Florio in 1966 and 196?
The most famous UJB car which was purchased from the Healeys by David
Dixon and licensed DD300 was privately entered at LeMans several times
with support from Healeys before being sold to John Chatham who was
famous for his Healey racing and exploits when Healeys had all but
disappeared from racing in the 60's & 70's. See Bill Bolton's ex John
Gott wild 3000. Gott was Captain of the BMC Works Team and had access to
all the good go faster stuff
Look for early to mid 70's copies of Healey Highlight magazines for some
full page cover shots of radically modified Healeys racing as Mod-Sports
in UK.
'Glass fenders and 10 inch wheels. great stuff thanks to original
photographs from early Healey enthusiast from Seattle Dave Ramstad.
9One of the first to recognised the Golden Beige Healey story
Time for Mr. Bill to fill in that part of the story.. No concours cars
in sight!
