Works Healeys In Detail - Healey, Nash-Healey and Austin-Healey works competition entrants, car by car
Donald Healey began rallying in the 1920s and soon gained fame in European events. A successful businessman, he aspired to build high-performance cars and, in 1946, launched his first models - the Westland roadster and the Elliott saloon - from his small Warwick factory.
The Elliott was the fastest saloon of its time, exceeding 110 mph and entering rallying by 1947. Healey later introduced the Silverstone, the elegant Tickford saloon, the Nash-Healey, and the renowned 100. The 100 quickly became the first Austin-Healey, leading to the 100/6, the 3000, and the addition of the Sprite.
This book explores Donald Healey's cars in rallying, racing, and record attempts from the late 1940s to the last racing Austin-Healey Sprite in 1967. It covers competition versions of the 100, 100S, 100/6, and the highly successful 3000, which dominated international rallies in the 1960s with legendary drivers like Pat Moss, Timo Mäkinen, Rauno Aaltonen, and Paddy Hopkirk.
The author details each works car's history - entries, drivers, and results - supported by nearly all existing photographs. The book also features detailed color images of key surviving examples.
