1965 Austin-Healey 3000 Mk III Works Competition Car
'DRX 258C'
“Make no mistake, from 1960 to 1965, after which new FIA regulations finally killed it off, this was the best and most charismatic rally car in the world. It looked dramatic, it sounded magnificent, and it was driven by the world’s best – and it never gave in to any rival.
“The Big Healey, in fact, set new standards which others could not match until it had gone. And we still miss it.”
Marque and model authority Graham Robson, a former 1960s factory co-driver, on the Austin-Healey 3000 rally cars in his standard on the subject Works Healeys in Detail (2018)
