[Healeys] Correct Grill Surround

[Alan]

Team
I remember being peripherally involved in this discussion over a year ago.
One of these flat-top grills was supplied by AHSpares to Phil Gardner who
was at the time building the BN1 that became known as 'The Coalition'. AH
were convinced that this flat-top design was correct as they were being
re-manufactured they said 'by the guy that made them for the factory'.
Despite these reassurances Phil rejected the grill as it was just plain
WRONG (whatever AH say). My guess is that some of these dodgy grills escaped
into the wild.

Greg,
     I don't know why aftermarket manufacturers cannot get it right.  From
all the pictures I have seen, all 100-4 grills are rounded at the
top.  This repro grill was made in England, or so it says, but why
make it look different?
