[Healeys] BJ8 Registry

[HealeyRick]

I imagine the buyer of the BJ8 that was recently sold at Barrett-Jackson
wasn't too happy upon finding out there was another BJ8 out there with the
same chassis number as reported in this month's "Healey Marque"  The
registries do a vital service to prevent buyers from purchasing a car that may
have title problems, especially with a car like a Healey that is so easy to
play games with chassis numbers.  As has happened before, take a 100, add the
LeMans bits, send off for a bunch of Heritage certificates until one comes
back with the magic words indicating a factory 100M and change the numbers of
the run-of-the mill car to match.  Follow up by selling the car outside the
country.

It probably depends on how you use the register, what and how you deliver the
info.  Steve and I have had this conversation.  If info is passed out to
potential buyers simply as stated by the owner to the register keeper, some
important clarifying info on those specific entries will be missed and you may
lose a sale simply because the register does not contain enough info to
explain these short and simply entries that can be misleading without
clarification.

If the register is going to be used to give info to potential
buyers, the seller deserves the opportunity to know exactly what info about
his car is being given and how it will be used and have the opportunity to
clarify any entries that are furnished to potential buyers if they desire.
