[Healeys] FW: Original 750 Mile BN2

[David Nock]

I do not think they are claiming that the car is original CONCOUSE as  
per the guidelines. And if you are wanting to do this then how about  
the Kurt Tanner car that went to Scottsdale a couple of years ago  
that was never a Gold Beige Car. I sold him the wrecked chassis that  
started life as a BRG BJ8 and ended up a $135,000 Gold Beige BJ8.
