[Healeys] Concours restoration question

[Ed's Shop]

<<The whole idea behind our Concours is originality 
but we highly encourage that the cars be driven.>>

It's sad to type Curt, but I STILL do NOT think
enough folks GET THAT  !!!

I was in attendance at the very first Delegates
Meeting where Rich & Gary A. brought up the 
"Subject" and explained the What, How, Where,
etc., etc. !!!  And what you wrote (above) was
STRESSED & EXPLAINED & REASONING(s).

IIRC, I was SO impressed with their WORK that
I nominated them for Honoury Membership for the
following year which, of course, PASSED<G>!!!  I
was also at a number of Delegates Meetings where
further info was related including when they dis-
cussed the 3 levels and the Badges, etc.!!!

I have NEVER known anybody as vehement at DRIVING
Concours cars as Rich (which WAS exemplified by him
DRIVING at 'almost done' car from CA to OK in '88!!!

Concours does NOT = trailer queen, folks!!

Concours DOES mean 'restored to as close to as left
the factory' condition ONLY !!!

Curt, you (lately<G>) are to be MORE than COMENDED
for your (as well as rest of Committee & Judges) WORK
for which I SAY (and have said for YEARS<G>) THANKS!!
I am also VERY proud to call Rich a friend !!!!

</end soap-box>
