[Healeys] H-BT7-L/6722 CLARIFICATION

[Mike Brouillette]

I also agree.  An engine doesn't make a car.  The chassis is at least a bit 
closer to the truth.
Get the number off the chassis and research that one.
That way you're also not lying to the guy who buys it afterwards when you 
sell a BN4 as a BT7.
