[Healeys] 100M?

[HealeyRick]

When you think about it, we car guys are just a little bit crazy.  Consider
the difference in value between a factory 100M, a car with a LeMans kit
installed at the Cape, a car with a LeMans kit installed in period at a U.S.
dealer, and a 100 that some guy installed a LeMans kit last week.  Each will
be pretty much the same car and perform the same, but what a difference in
price!  It's no different with run-of-the-mill Chevelle's turned into SSes,
Tempests into GTOs and Mustangs turned into Shelbys.  Don't get me wrong, I
get just as excited in seeing a factory "M" as the next guy, but viewed
objectively, it's a little bit nuts, isn't it?

Okay, sorry for the shorthand. The article establishes the information that
this car is a BN1 and has a period-installed Le Mans Kit and then goes on
to speculate whether it is or is not a real 100M.
The important point is that it is not, can not, be a 100M because the term
hadn't been coined when that car was sold. Nevertheless, it's still cool.
