[Healeys] The Rum Diary

[Paul Leeks]

Hi Marv

My BN4 was also restored by a PO (back in 1989) and had the spears replaced
on the wrong wings.  Unfortunately, they dented the paint work and so could
not cannot be reversed without revealing an ugly indentation on each wing.

One day, if/when I can afford a new paint job, I will probably change them
back, but until then ...

Hey, perhaps we should start a 'dodgy spears' register ... I'm sure those
lots more out there in denial :)

Cheers
Paul

I drive a low miles BT7 that is absolutely original except for a mediocre
repaint done many years before I got it ay which time the spears were
reinstalled backwards. At this time, it is part of the character of this
particular car and I have no intention of changing them. It's also a good
conversation starter.

P.S. No way could you hurt my feelings. Name Calling is more a reflection on
the Name Caller than on Name Callee, but if the shoe fits...
