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

[John Harper]

Yes - I have the same issue. For example I fill in an entry form to an
Austin-Healey event with 100 Le Mans and find that somebody who should know
better has changed it to 100M.

I fear that it is going to take a long time and a lot of effort to educate
the badly informed.

Best regards
