Interesting mention of the Bonneville Cars

Saw this today...

Austin-Healey Bonneville Record Breakers to be rebuilt...

Not much information, but it's nice to know a fellow enthusiast is hard at it.

Nice find. Seems it would be a waste to take the finished cars back to Bonneville, though I'm sure they could do a better job of corrosion protection with modern products.

If it were me, I'd be looking for a dried lake bed...

Ahh the Oz connection, marsh resto does a lot of the 100S refurbs, and a friend owns the pub at Dumbleyung which is adjacent to the salt flat that D Campbell did his speed run on, where better to run them! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

We have a Press Release on this very subject in the February issue of HEALEY MARQUE, which will be mailed this week.

And there is also a report on a UK-based record car replica under construction... we're all over it and will bring you the details as they evolve.
