1966 Austin Healy 3000 Mark 3
1966 Austin Healy 3000, Mark 3.
On and off this car has been associated with VSCDA for almost 20 years. It has an annual tech sticker as of the Elkhart Lake Vintage Festival in 2024. It is a very fun right hand drive car with the 3.5 aluminum V-8 Rover/Buick motor and a T-10 4 speed transmission. The car is pretty well sorted and ready to race. I have extensive documentation. There is only 1 race weekend on a fresh build. I started and will stay in Formula Vees.

Race in VSCDA Group 9 or other vintage series in this GTP/Camel Lights racecar. Designed and built by Jo Marquart (founder of Anglia Cars LTD, England, also former McLaren F1 Chief Designer). This chassis 102 ran 10 Camel GTP races in 1984-85 including the 24 Hours of Daytona, with best GTP finish 4th. It was then converted to a Camel Lights spec and did 10 more races through 1985 finishing 1st at Watkins Glen and 1st at Laguna Seca. The car was driven by Charles Morgan, Bill Alsup, Whitney Ganz and later owned by HANS device co-developer and Argo Camel Lights champion Jim Downing. Take it vintage racing or just be the fast guy at track day events. The cockpit fits my 6’1” 180# frame.

1974 Triumph TR6
Triumph TR6 cars have had a strong competition history starting with a car built by Group 44, then a competition arm of the American division of British Leyland, manufacturer of the Triumph TR6.
A TR6 Driven by group 44 president and pro driver John McComb, and Bob Tulius, earned invitations to the SCCA National Championship in 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1975 winning ‘D’ production National Championship in 1975. Famous actor, Paul Newman, won the National Championship SCCA in 1976 driving a TR6.
This Triumph TR6 was sold new in Greenville, SC and has a fully documented history since. It has had only 4 owners in the last 47 years that dutifully maintained and enhanced this Mallard Green Triumph. The 3rd owner had the motor rebuilt with performance upgrades including twin Weber carbs and mild street cam. The 4th and current owner purchased the TR6 from Northshore Sportscars in 2014 because he was impressed with the looks and strong performance. A year or so later he became interested in vintage racing after attending one of our race dates and the rest is history as the saying goes. The transition from street car to full vintage race prep proceeded over a few Winters work. All of the required safety components are in place including Fuel Safe fuel, cell, Firecharger onboard fire system, Corbeau race seat, 6 point harness, catch tanks, and cutoff switches. The upgrades are quite numerous but are not limited to the following list:
-Sam Halkias built motor with race cam and roller rockers
-5 Speed trans conversion
-Wilwood 4 wheel slotted disc brakes
-Triple Weber carbs
-Aluminum radiator
-Oil cooler
-16 inch Panasport racing wheels
-Transponder
-Limited slip differential
-Aluminum flywheel and harmonic balancer
-Koni adjustable shocks
-Front and rear oversize sway bars
The car comes with a VSCDA logbook and a great spares package.

Great wheels, loved them. Been racing with them for a decade. Over the Winter, I flared my fenders and am going with 15×8 inch wheels and Goodyear Blue Streaks 15 X 6.00. (10″ width). These wheels are ready to use, in excellent condition. Tires have plenty of practice laps still on them. Shipping is expensive, so I’m looking for pickup in St. Louis, Missouri or I could drop off when racing at various tracks or buyer can arrange for pickup. My tentative schedule for 2022 looks like this:
* May–Possibly Gingerman and/or Indianapolis Motor Speedway
* June 17-19 Blackhawk Farms Raceway, possibly Indianapolis Motorspeedway
* June 25-26 Ozark International Raceway
* July 14-17 Road America
* Sept 16-19 Road America
