I see this was a N/S at $92K 'reserve not met.' Apparently, owner
still thinks he deserves a 'real 100M' (minus correct chassis,
carburetors, distributor, ...) price.<br>
<br>
$92K would be a proper price for a really nice BN2.<br>

<div>The car on offer does have some valid M parts. Vin tag,
cockpit trim, boot. The engine I'd put a question mark next to
because of the repro tag, possibly incorrect carbs and
incorrect distributor. I'm not really familiar with original
cold air boxes, but it did appear old. </div>
<div>I also felt IMO that the bonnet looked suspiciously clean
and fresh. The boot showed no evidence of the prop mount being
removed and the boot itself showed some signs of aging prior
to restoration (namely some pitting). I can't say that same
about the bonnet in terms of the aging. The area where the
numbers are stamped has a support behind it. So in theory the
number could be cut out of an original bonnet and grafted into
another new bonnet, but this is just speculation and would
take carefully scutiny to determine. </div>

<div>Very true. From talking with Mike, I really don't think
he initially knew about the chassis and possible motor/
carb questions. He really doesn't have a good
understanding of Healeys. And I even can understand to a
point that he might be trying to even convince himself
that it might be more than it actually is. But how he has
represented it after receiving a good assessment, just
sits a bit wrong with me. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Anyway it may never be known who or when the
"conversion" took place. But the idea that the front cross
bracing was bent to look like a M cam was installed, and
the two under the dash BN1 OD relay holes (4) being so
carefully concealed, tells me someone was trying to make
it look legit. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>And I quess it just will be determined by the hammer
price how much of it really matters. It is a sharp looking
car. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Interesting question about
misrepresentation. Who misrepresented what to whom? Did
the restorer misrepresent a 100M with a BN1 frame and
possible replacement motor to the original buyer who was
clueless or was it the original buyer that was doing the
misrepresenting? There's probably some grist for a
lawyer's mill in all this. (retired lawyer, I can't help
thinking this way) Maybe I should start one of those
"The Healey Lawyer" columns in the <em>Marque?</em>

<div style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;color:inherit;background-color:transparent">Bob,
I agree with you. And it seems he is trying to
cast some doubt on it being a BN1 chassis. Saying
the firewall is a combination of both BN1 and BN2
is plain false. Since I was the one who showed him
in person why it was a BN1 chassis he wanted to
use my name saying we "believe" its a BN1
chassis, and I replied that "believe" doesn't
categorize my opinion. That everything points to
being a BN1 chassis and nothing to a BN2. </div>
<div style="font-family:inherit;font-size:inherit;color:inherit;background-color:transparent">Intesting
note on the added restoration photos, #311 clearly
shows the cut out BN1 gearbox mount in the
restoration photo. Odd it is on a painted frame,
but the BN2 one must have been welded in later.
I'd thought maybe it was of a different frame, but
the front frame extensions are missing in the
pictured one as we'll, so probably not.</div>
