O.K., let me end all this speculation. I told a Healey restorer friend of
mine about the tags and he bought them both with the "buy it now" option.
Don't be surprised if you see them at RM or Barret Jackson sometime in the
future with a Heritage certificate and looking just like the car that they
were on originally. I think I would rather see a Healey resurrected from an
ID plate in it's original form than just to disappear completely. And trust
me, this guy is a top notch restorer so maybe it will be a pheonix after
all.
