>I just received the following letter from Bic Healey:
>
>>I had a call from a very distressed Pat Moss Carlsson over the 
>>Easter Weekend and I am hoping that you will be able to help her. 
>>Whilst she was in hospital over and just after Christmas, someone 
>>stole her two most-cherished trophies which are irreplaceable. They 
>>are both easily recognisable and certainly not easy to dispose of 
>>as they are unique.
>>
>>The first is a model of URX 727, the big Healey in which she and 
>>Ann Wisdom won the Liege-Rome-Liege Rally outright in 1960. The car 
>>is in red and full rally livery. Only two of these were made and 
>>the girls were presented with them.
>>
>>The second is the Guild of Motoring Writers Driver of the Year 
>>award which was presented to Pat and Ann. It is a pewter steering 
>>wheel with a hand on it and is engraved with their names. This is also unique.
>>
>>Obviously the most likely means of disposing of these would be 
>>through the Internet or on eBay. Rather than worry Pat with calls, 
>>can I ask that anyone with any information gets in touch with me 
>>and I will then direct them to the police who are obviously aware of the theft.
>>
>>I would appreciate any help you can give and I know Pat would. She 
>>has not been well of late and the recovery of the trophies would be 
>>just the tonic she needs.
>>
>>- Bic Healey

>If anyone has any knowledge of the whereabouts of these items, 
>including offers to sell or auction them, please contact me off 
>list. Please also help to spread the word. I have also requested 
>photos which I will post if any are received. Thank you.
