G'day
Very interesting. Austin-Healey 3000 registered 57 FAC was the spare car for
Sebring 1963 and yes it is currently in Australia. In fact it's been here
for quite a few years.
I drove it at the Phillip Island circuit just last March and had a great
time.
Again let the buyer beware. I would be interested in seeing the period
articles that Scott Morris refers to. The car in the ad is featured at
p142/143 of Bill Emerson's book where there is no reference to it being 57
FAC. Incidentally the Sebring cars from 1963 were all right hand drive. Plus
there were BJ7s, not BN7 Mk1s.
57 FAC was subsequently sold to a Canadian BMC dealer and won the Canadian
Racing Drivers Association class championship. Here I would say is the mix
up.
I am using 57 FAC as the centrepiece for a major article I am preparing for
Vintage Racecar magazine on six-cylinder Austin-Healeys at Sebring.

Here is another one of those ads making a lot of claims, and connections to
DMH etc, no doubt some of them true judging by the history and names
mentioned.

I can't think of what class of racing that car could compete in,in Europe.
