"Concourse" is shorthand for a car that is restored or maintained in close =

that I enjoy the fun of driving my Healey too much to want to trailer it t=

alled changes/modifications/improvements or are simply not well maintained.=
Cars that are well restored & generally adhere to original specifications =

That looks very neat and tidy. Time to get it dirty. However fit some air =
filters in a cold box first. Avoid the foam affairs because of severe fire =
risk. These cars are for driving. All this concourse stuff is bullshit. Use=
them, make them safe to drive in modern traffic and enjoy them. We have fr=
iends that use their A-H cars as a daily driver and rebuild the car every s=
o often if and when extensive repairs are needed.=20
To many concourse trailer queens about that may not even be fit for drivi=
