[Healeys] Healeys] Misleading Barrett Jackson promo material on BJ8

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

Sorry, but I have problems to follow this discussion. There seems to be people
who like the Tanner Healeys even they are not Concours correct, or better they
do not care or even do not know how it should be right. But they like the cars
as they are and have the money to buy them. So what4s wrong with this. So
there is no need for Tanner to do anything different, as he gets good money
for what he does.
So his patronage likes to buy the cars as they are and it would be a risk for
Tanner to do the cars to original spec. Never change a winning team.

Rich restores beautiful cars, ready to run, to people that can afford it, and
he is a business man AND a historian. As the man says, "There is only one way
to do it - the right way!!". Tanner has "rebuilt" enough Healeys to know what
is correct and for what his cars sell for, he can take the time to do it
right. Unfortunately most of the people with the deep pockets don't have a
clue about most of the cars at BJ. They look at them as investment or "Gee,
isn't that a cute car!!". I think the complaint, which IMHO is justified, is
that if you are going to ask and get that much money for a Healey, it should
be done correctly.
