Bizarre; Nash Healey; 1950 24h Le Mans 4th, Rolt & Hamilton; RN14

The film's British commentators were surprised by the Nash-Healey, not only because an American-powered car did so well, but also because it was the first entrant in LeMans history equipped with overdrive.

Bearing number 14, the car had a Nash clutch, transmission, and rear axle assembly. Power was supplied by a modified version of the production Ambassador six, with a special aluminium cylinder head, special camshaft and valve springs, and dual carburetion, all of which boosted horsepower to 130 at 4,300 rpm. Tipping the scales at 2,300 pounds, the racer could reach 130 mph flat out.

Piloted by A.P.R. "Tony" Holt and J.D. Hamilton, the Nash-Healey managed fourth despite being out of the race a full 45 minutes. This was the result of an accident caused by a Delage, which rammed the Nash-Healey from behind, sending it into a spin and damaging its rear axle.

This excellent model is from Bizarre, made from resin.
