[Healeys] Interesting ad on Craigs list for a 100 M

[Rich C]

Atta boy Bob.

Blame U.K. laws for that one. The bolt on afterthoughts were required 
because of a law taking effect 1st October 1954 in the U.K. requiring a pair 
of refectors to be visible on all new vehicles. So they quickly went to a 
pattern maker and had the patterns made and the pods cast. The first few 
were cast in bronze, then they quickly went to aluminum. Lucas supplied the 
reflector assemblies. Rubber left and right gaskets were made, two screws 
each mounted them, and production carried on to the letter of the law.
