Is this the car you have:
"1959 Austin Healey 3000 Mk1.supplied by the Abingdon Factory Competition Department for racing to BMC works driver, the late John Gott. Raced from 1959 to 1986, when it was last driven competitively at Montlehery by John Curtis. During 27 years of competition, this 3000 with aluiminium panels evolved into its current Modsport racer-specification, which includes widened wings and huge JA Pearce Magna alloy wheels. Despite storm damage to one front wing, scuttle and apron, this is a project that does provide the BIg Healey fan with a rare chance to become the owner of a Race Car with driver providence at modest cost."
If so, it should be quite easy to trace in the UK as John Gott was a well known competitor.

hi Rick, no thats not the one i bought! i wished it was, the one ive got is referred to as the light weight healey! it has all aluminium panels apart from bonnet and boot which are fibre glass, it has all aluminium undertray and has wolfrace alloy wheels fitted, apparantly TONI ELSHOF was a bit off a name in racing healeys mainly sprites though.
