[Healeys] [.H.ealeys] BN1

[Derek Job]

But Gergo is a serious Healey restorer and Im sure he will do an excellant
job on it. All BN1's don't have to meet Gold Concours standard and Rich
understood that. When Gergo has finished with it he will be able to sell on
a great BN1 to a grateful enthusiast. BN1.s are the best Healey's to drive
as they are lighter and better balanced. Much nimbler than a 3000. The
BJ8's may fetch more money but they are totally different things, they are
tourers. A potential buyer of a BN1 would not be in the market for a BJ8.

I'm with Larry on this one. Gergo should buy it and the list can provide
all the assistance so that he can rebuild it close to orginal specs.

Not everything has to be original though. I was at Silverstone yersterday
and OON 440 was racing with twin Webers.
