[Healeys] Misleading Barrett Jackson promo material on BJ8

[Jim Culp]

I heard about the price paid for a '66 Tanner BJ8 finished in Metallic Golden
Beige and red interior- I was excited that the prices are staying up.  I read
about the sale in Automobile Magazine where they stated correctly that it was
a '66 redone in the '67 Anniversary color "Metallic Golden Beige". 

Then I look up the auction information and it reads "Finished in the
spectacular and original rare factory color scheme of Metallic Golden Beige
with Red Ambla trim."

I was pretty surprised- got me wondering if the buyer thought this was a
"real" MGB car and paid a premium as a result?  Since Automobile Mag knew it
wasn't an original MGB car can one assume the buyer did as well?

Lot # 674
