[Healeys] 54 BN1 Barn Car

[Barrie Robinson]

OMG - I have to step in here.  At one time during my BJ8 
restoration,  I was deep in thought and my wife asked what was the 
matter. I explained that my restoration costs were getting higher 
than I had estimated (surprise, surprise).   So she responded by 
saying that she had put some money aside for some wild holidays or 
something and I could have it if I wanted !!!   And NO, that lovely 
model is not for sale !!!
