Originally wrote " Not a 100S but a 100 at the back of interesting field at Waimate 1961 "
There are two Healeys #53 was Josh Timms in the 100S AHS3802 owned by Doctor Fred Losee of the USA and the other one is the ex- Kennard Healey-Corvette in the hands of E D [ Ed ] Candy.
Have just re-read the Waimate 50 book with the details.
The Healey Corvette was there again in the last running of the Waimate 50, the race changed from a 50 lap race to a 50 mile race [ 40 laps ] The Healey Corvette won the Sports and racing car race and came 3rd in the Sports cars only race in the hands of G Smith.
There are more photos in the book which I intend scanning and putting up a Waimate 50 story.
Thanks to Bruce Dyer SpGeti for sending me the book back in 2015 or so.

A couple of interesting photos, " borrowed " of course.
First car looks like a 100 but is actually a 6 cylinder car chassis with a 100/4 front.. impressive, I like it .
Was at the 5th European Meeting just recently. would like more photos of it.
Thanks to Clas Arleskar who was at the meeting got an award for most popular.
Has the mirror finish on the bulkhead which can make it seem that it has 6 twin choke Webers..
