Pukekohe - various photos - 1980 / 82 Sprint Race meetings probably TACCOC run
Found these few shots one from 1981 / 82, and the rest from a Sprint meeting in late 1980.
I wasn't competing as by then the TR4 had been smashed up, think I may have driven the Sunbeam Alpine owned by Richard Leaper - background in one of the photo's - he lent me the car, so I was mobile again.

AHCCNZ events - 1989 National Rally at Masterton Engines
This really is for the avid Healeyite, variations on an A-H 100, the three versions.
Chris White's 100M, kit the car was a 100 that Chris modified to " M " Specs, and did a very good job at the time.
Attachment 34043
view from the other side - showing " Cold Air box and trunking to the grille, made a difference
Attachment 34044
A 100, unsure whose but could be IA 1004 which was owned by the late Gavin Gullery - information from Mark Donaldson, Founder and Historian for the AHCCNZ.
Attachment 34045
another view of the 100
Attachment 34046
and another - small circular air cleaners rather then the cold air box
Attachment 34047
The photos were taken as I wanted some good reference shots for my car which was somewhat unoriginal
The cars above were driven to and from the NZ event, and indeed most events
For comparison a 100 S engine, cross flow [ correction see notes from Ken H and BMC BOY ] Harry Weslake ' single port ' Head with the carbies on the other side and no air cleaners or cold air box - this photo from Snowmass, Colorado in 1982. The car arrived in a large trailer and had travelled from the East Coast to Colorado.
Sadly no 100 S remained in NZ. that I am aware of - unless tucked away somewhere or recently imported [ as in the last 20 years, since I left the NZ Healey club, having sold my Healey in 1995.

ERC, Yes I must, I tried to change the First Post but doesn't do the Heading, and I have 100's more Healey photos going back to the mid 1970's in NZ, and from two trips to the USA in 1982 and 1988, plus in England on the 1982 trip, some posted elsewhere [ a few ] but would be better here.
Will PM Steve as it is a great idea, thanks Ray ..

Kevin, yep got that wrong, but they did move the manifolds inlet and exhaust to the other side so a very different head, somewhere in my Geoffrey Healey books [ 3 ] and Donald Healey books [ 2 ] there will be the reason. I know that LHD Hundreds got bloody hot for the driver as the exhaust was under your feet, 100S solved their problem but not for RHD 100S owners.
A-H 100 S the engine and head ..

Roger, I thought what I entered on Post # 113 explained the reasons for the Weslake head design or did I miss something ?
Yes, I am following your thread also !
KH
All good Ken, didn't read the fine print, about the pushrods and better flow of the head with the manifolding changed over..
Where do you keep all the stuff you post, must have a big Man Cave !!, cheers Roger
