Whatever you all do, do NOT go by details on this car.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Original 750 Mile BN2
I thought the coolant hose clamps on a BN2 were the band type--forget the
proper name (Robbins?)--not the wire type. The engine paint is awful glossy.
I've never seen a BN2 with the copper fuel lines chromed (but, hey, doesn't
mean they weren't). Weren't the brake drums dull silver? Also, I thought the
lip on the bottom of the rear shroud was hand-painted a flat black. I would
expect some corrosion on bare metal parts regardless of how well the car was
stored.
Not picking on this car--we're restoring a BN2 (100M) and want to get as
correct as possible.

Looking at the pictures I believe the chassis id plate is not original. To
me
the numbers stamped no dot correspond to the original typography and
stamping
method used on the original cars and from several pictures I have seen...
I
may be playing to be Sherlock Holmes... but the car seems to shinny to have
only 750 miles, seems more like a recent complete restoration... very well
done
but recent....
my 2 cents

Had a customer contact
me today about this car. I have not seen the
car but supposedly it is an
original unrestored BN2 with only 750
original miles.
Thats right I said
750 original miles.
If this is correct the concorse committee is going to
climb all over
this one.
