[Healeys] Engine number "1"CH or "I"CH for the Longbridge BN4

[Jim Lesher]

Alan - Thanks for the heads up for the p 83 reference in the A&M Gospel. I
can't believe I missed that vital tidbit.  But I wonder why there was no
mention of this detail in the 2010 Originality Guide. But it is interesting
that I have not had any response with the "1" noted. Everyone that has replied
has noted that their engine number begins with the "I".



so the mystery continues. I have written to "The Trust" and await their
response.
