Hello
CAN 171 and 57 FAC are two different cars.
The former is a BN7 that was DHMC prepared for Austin Canada and 57 FAC is a
BJ7 that was the reserve car for Sebring 1963 and was sold to Austin Canada
afterwards.
To confuse the issue Austin Canada used photos of CAN 171 in later publicity
following successes of 57 FAC.

Kevin Adair, who now owns it, drove the #171, 1960 ex-Grant Clark Canadian
Championship winning DHM Works prepared big Healey, to an outright win at the
2017 Rolex Monterey Historic Reunion Group 1B 1955-1962 GT Cars. The two
attached files contain much of the car?s history.

I assume this is the car Healeys bult for the Canadian distributor and was
owned and restored by Bill Bolton back in the late 70s early 80s ? It had a
history racing in Canada by ?????? I cannot remember the name but it is
reasonably listed in the cars history.

I didn't make it out to the track this year so didn't get a chance to see the
races and only today watched the one-hour overview on CBS SN of the historics.
I enjoyed watching the race with the mid-1950s production cars, which was won
by a white Healey 3000 that they said had an "S" designation for "Sebring."
Does anyone know anything about this car or its owner and prep?
