100S at Australian Rally Ballarat 1985
Here's something to make you envious Roger.
In 1985 a group of us went to Melbourne and then travelled up to Ballarat for the A-H Rally.
On the day of departure Steve Pike threw me the keys to this 100S (belonging to Jim McConville) and said
you're driving this!
I thought he was taking the piss, but he was deadly serious. Even then, this was an extremely valuable car
so I was very careful at all times. I remember it had very tall gearing and took a while to get off the mark.
It also had that awful 3 speed gearbox and overdrive that I have always felt a bit clumsy, but it was amazing
to get the opportunity to drive one for such a distance and over the whole event. Absolutely lovely car and very original at the time. I believe since then it has been repainted in the original blue and white colours.

Austin Healey Car Club Rally 1990 ; The Concours
[QUOTE=BMCBOY;50249]Nice to see a couple of photos of my BN7 here Roger. Where is the concours judging taking place -
Here is the scene in the grounds of the Motel, you drove through the middle of the buildings the Office and house was on one side and the units on the other.

Think my 100 is the one on the very left, probably came last, as fairly scruffy by then, wasn't going to enter but really had no choice, organised the event so had to participate.

AHCCNZ Classic Hillclimb Otaua, yet another " very British " group
Intrerestingly the power pole background is concrete and looks new, that is probably because it was the resting place of a Jaguar Mark 11 in an earlier years Hill Climb, I was at the same spot with camera and CB Radio, the Jag gently slid off the corner and sideways into the haybale against the pole, not too much damage from memory
