[Healeys] When is a Tiger not a Tiger (was: H-BT7-L/6722CLARIFICATION)

I am sorry but I have to take issue here. What you say does not apply to 
the UK AHC. We kept far more than just the VIN/chassis numbers 15 years 
ago. We kept this detailed information going back something like 30 
years.

For example the first UK 100 Register was produced in 1970 but I agree 
this had limited car information. The first detailed Register started in 
1977 by John Wheatley and this had body/batch number, colours original 
and now, condition and in addition more detailed information. This was 
nearly 33 years ago!

In 1988 we transferred from paper records to a database with just over 
300 entries but kept all the detailed information and add a little more. 
Now we have approaching ten times that number and all details we receive 
are recorded.

Having said the above I fully endorse what you say

The wider the registries can be publicised, the more people will know 
about them. The more helpful they are to individual owners, the more 
likely the word will spread that registries are more than an idle 
pastime, but can be a
real
benefit to the Healey community.

Best regards
