[Healeys] Austin Healey Radio?

Hi Steve,
BMC sold cars to distributors.
Distributors sold cars to Dealers
The DHMCo was regarded as a distributor because of their relationship  
with eg 100Ms and US bases sales.
So Car Mart was a distributor; John Sprinzel Racing was a dealership.

John Sprinzel described the supply chain here. http://www.myaustinhealey.com/john-sprinzel-healey.html

In most cases, BMC had no idea who the actual dealer was who sold the  
car. They only knew the distributor, and that's the name on the  
heritage certificate.
The same supply chain still exists today for e.g many consumer goods
Factory -> distributor -> dealer -> consumer.
Best
Chris
