A new tribute event is set to take place next month in honour of Donald Healey, raising money for Prostate Cancer UK
Cornwall is set to host a brand-new classic car event next month in aid of Prostate Cancer UK. Open to all types of classic cars, the inaugural Healeys Classic Car Rally will celebrate the legendary automotive legacy of Cornishman Donald Healey.
A noted pilot, speed record breaker and Monte Carlo rally winner, Donald Healey was born on July 3, 1898, in Perranporth, and also founded the Donald Healey Motor Company. The rally will pass through his birthplace, driving along spectacular coastal roads where he honed his driving skills, and making a pit stop at Trebah Gardens, Donald’s former home, for a traditional Cornish cream tea.
The rally finish line is back at Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm, where participants can enjoy a tour of Donald’s third- and fourth-generation descendants’ multi-award-winning visitor centre and cyder press.
“This event is not just a celebration of our family’s automotive heritage but also a way to bring together classic car enthusiasts from all over, to share in the beauty of Cornwall and the joy of classic motoring,” said David Healey, Healeys Founder and Chairman.
