[Healeys] Tanner BT7 color

[Wm. Severin Thompson]

Alan,

I'm not sure you're understanding the story on that car...

The real NOJ 391 was discovered to exist underneath the identity of Fred
Hunter's red 100S. NOJ391 had a successful racing career in its original
identity, and was wrecked when the Healey's loaned it to someone running the
Tour d France. The car was later repaired and rebadged as a 100S, where it
had an another life as a race car.

Fourintune took a standard 100-4 chassis, and a 100S engine, and with Geoff
Healey's blessing and cooperation, and Roger Menadue's help, made a
recreation of what NOJ 391 looked like in its original form. 

WST

Actually this is very interesting reading:

Talk about buying a barn-find 100S and hitting the jackpot.
