[Healeys] 100-4 Trafficator Info

[Mr. Bill]

Nope, not at all, Ronald,

There were 3000's MK I, MK II and MK III.  They all had the same engine 
blocks, just different carbs.   There were also MK III's and  MK  
IIIa's, as well, but I do not profess to know where the "a" nomenclature 
came from denoting the different body style with the additional running 
lights as required by USA regulations.  (As the Colonies were DMH's 
prime market.)  Come on Concours guys, Patrick and Alan, help me out 
here!  :-)
