An expert from a mail from Patrick Quinn regarding XR37 'on film' .....
"Back in 1994 a group of Healeys and Austin-Healeys were gathered at Sydney’s Amaroo Park. These included the Healey Silverstone of Warwick and Jennifer Sell, the 100S of Ray and Muriel Roberts, the 100S (reconstruction) of Murray Wells, Patrick and Caroline Quinn’s 100 BN3/1, Colin and Kerrie Rule’s Bond 3000 (driven by Ross Bond), Joe and Lenore Armour’s Sebring 3000 and Robert and Toni Harrison’s Healey XR37.
The important part of the video is that it includes the first and only vision of the Healey XR37 running under its own power since it ran at Le Mans in 1970. In case you don’t know what the XR37 is, it is the Healey sports racer built initially for Le Mans in 1968 as a coupe with a Coventry Climax V8. It ran again in slightly altered form in 1969 and then again in 1970 in open form, but with a Repco Brabham V8.
If you watch the film Le Mans with Steve McQueen that was made around the 1970 race you will catch glimpses of the XR37 running."
