Many years ago while still at school I had a mate who's older brother had a four cylinder Healey he took me for a lap around Oatley park ( Sydney) but seeing my only income was from a paper run I ended up buying a BSA bantam..
I like this video at just 30 seconds. There is nothing better than a Healey in the Alps. Better still if Jeremy Welch has had his hands on the car at Yoxel. Worth every penny if you can afford it.
Thanks for the comment, but not quite sure I understand you...my car has a race engine with many Denis Welch parts...but I've retained the SU's in favour over Webers. Did the hill climb again in 2016 and got down to a 5min 50sec time, car now back in New Zealand
Yes, fair comment..this was my second run up the hill...I came back in 2016 and took over a minute off to record a best time of 6 min 50 sec...i'll upload a video from that year...camera position not as good
Wow, gotta give you credit for driving that S, I would think the remaining few would be in a museum. Thank you.

Damn...that hill climb went on for every...... Nice run!

Ah, well, I guess you've never driven a Lotus elan in the Alps, Healey would be way behind after the third or fourth corner.
Almost six minutes before he even moves! Edit!
Great, but skip to minute 8, when he moves to staging
That's a gentleman's steering wheel.
Sounds like the carbs need setting up
No.... just the race cam
fab
Looked to me like he was letting off on the gas too often . Could have cut the time down quite a bit .

Actual Driving doesn't start until 9:14 into the video, but that is the longest hillclimb I've ever seen!!
Apologies for that…I can’t edit the clip once posted…it’s an amazing event
