[Healeys] 100 LeMans for sale

[Patrick & Caroline Quinn]

G'day Craig

I agree with you wholeheartedly that there is no such animal as a Dealer
100M, as well as there are no BN1 100Ms.

When I was in the US back in 1975 I became fully aware of the differences
between a genuine M and a 100 (BN1 or BN2) fitted with a Le Mans kit. Since
then I have been trying to pass on the correct word.

The car in question is a beautiful car, but it is not a 100M and I think
it's unfortunate that it has a 100M grille badge.

I also agree that the seller has probably not picked the best auction house
and location to sell such a car.

Patrick,

It has to be a 100 with a Le mans kit. BN1's can not be designated as 100M,
only 640 BN2's modified at the Donald Healey Motor Works can be true 100M
vehicles.
There is no such BN1 or BN2 vehicle designated as a "Dealer 100M". The
misinformation will never stop!

BN1 & BN2 --- neither is a 100M
