[Healeys] Paint

[Healey]

Hi Bob and the list. I also attended the Euro show and they announced that 
the Healey attendance was over 100. Last year the Triumph Marque had 102. 
Considering the difference in the base number of each marque available, we 
did an exceptional job of getting the Healeys out. Bill Emerson's Westland 
won a sponsors award. For the first time they had over 500 cars and shut 
down registrations for lack of room.
