AH 3000 Works rally cars -
The Austin Healey swansong should have been the 1967 RAC Rally in the UK, but the Rally was cancelled because of the outbreak of ' foot and mouth ' disease in cattle.
The production of the car ceased in December 1967 ending after the production of 17,000 cars - notes from Bill Price book ' " The BMC / BL Competitions Department " - 25 years in Motor Sport - the cars, the people, the events '.
A couple of pictures I had not seen before. from Paul Woolmer. photos are recent - not period - event not stated by Paul. one from the George Holt collection.
For 1967 there were two AH 3000's this one ARX92B, and ARX91B - an ex-works car which had come 9th in the 1967 Targa Florio driven by Ted Worswick - notes from the Bill Price book.
