[Healeys] [Mg-t] New PA legislation !!! FYI & FWIW

[Joseph Troutwine]

Charlie,

Slight clarification on your statement about PA inspections.  The Classic 
tags have always required the regular annual inspection while the Antique 
tags did not require any inspection.  This comes from someone who had both 
for many years prior to escaping PA for Arizona three years ago.
