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

[John Harper]

Randy

I have a factory fitted Le Mans kit on my BN1 together with a fairly strong
provenance. There are also a handful of other such factory upgrades on our
register that have strong evidence of factory fitment. I am not including
in this number those who have fitted genuine or replica kits outside the
factory.

Best regards
