A year ago, we profiled his Austin-Healey 100 record car (Vintage Racecar \u2013 October 2015). Meticulously, he and Jeremy Welch researched, to the finest detail, everything he needed to build a carbon copy. Not satisfied with the building of the car, his car had to break records too, just as Donald Healey had done at Bonneville with the original. Replacing Bonneville with the Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedfordshire, England, together with Jeremy, his ambition was realized, setting 19 international speed records along the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<style>\n        .memberful-global-teaser-content > :last-child{\n            -webkit-mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n            mask-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #000 0%, transparent);\n        }\n    <\/style>\n<div class='memberful-global-marketing-content'>\n<div class=\"cs-paywall\">\n<div class=\"cs-paywall__card\">\n<div class=\"cs-paywall__top\"><span class=\"cs-paywall__label\">Members only<\/span><span class=\"cs-paywall__price\">$29 <em>\/ year<\/em><\/span><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"cs-paywall__title\">Keep going. <span>This is where it gets good.<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"cs-paywall__lead\">Supercars.net Membership is for people who&#x27;d rather know the spec sheet by heart than skim ten headlines.
