Since january 12th the only Austin Healey that ever won the Tulip rallye and completed it 3 times as a winner with driver and owner Rinus Sinke and as navigator Bart den Hartog is on display in the Healey Museum.

In the april issue of the AHCUSA (Austin Healey Club USA) club magazine, the Austin Healey Magazine, the attached article is published about this special rally car. With the permission of the AHCUSA this article is published in the Netherlands by the Healey Museum.
Read the article about this very special car with an impressive list of participation in the most important rally’s during the past 20 years.


As everyone may expect, the Healey Museum, the only museum worldwide for this beautiful brand, constantly aims to improve the representativity of it’s collection. Beside gifts and acquisitions through auctions, the Healey Museum board constantly monitors opportunities to improve the exhibition of displayed car models in the collection.

Recently two acquisitions were realised that future museum visitors will get a chance to see. The first – already announced, but now finally arrived – acquisition is a Jensen Healey.

Only recently a beautiful BN7 was acquired in addition. This 3000 MKII 3 carb. two seater with factory hardtop is 1 of only 355 models. In 1962 only 141  BN7 were assembled. This beautiful and rare car is an absolute catch for the collection!
