[Healeys] Grace, and the barn find 100 at PB

[Randy Hicks]

Doesn’t upset me. I agree there were no 100M BN1’s. And not to re-open the discussion.

They were “Austin Healey 100 with “Le Mans” Modifications” per the period sales literature. (Attached) This discussion has gone around so many times it is hard to imagine that people can’t get it right.

In the AHCA 100 Registry there is only one car with documentation to prove that it is an "Austin Healey 100 with “Le Mans” Modifications” and it is on the east coast.
