Peter is right,though Curt's point was with the spelling of the word 
"concours." In any case, the fact that we go for originality instead of elegance (no 
long gowns as you would see at Concorso Italiano), is the reason why we call 
the effort the "Austin-Healey Concours Registry" and don't mention elegance or 
etat. (I thought when we started, that sounded too much like "coup d'etat" and 
we'd never want one of those, would we?)
