i know i am not the only one that pays absolutely no attention to the mileage 
listed on ebay or anywhere else for a healey.  for years you could not get an 
angle drive except at a junkyard and my own car went about three years with a 
broken angle drive.  it seems that most of the cars for sale on ebay have 
around 50-60 thousand miles on the speedo, even if the drive train has 
undergone a complete restoration.  since i am able to remove the speedo, take 
the face off, pop the needle off, unscrew the two little screws that hold the 
face on, and move the speedo numbers to whatever i want them to be, i assume 
most other healey guys can also.  in nevada, after so many years the 
speedometer reading is not considered reliable.  i guess they make the 
assumption it has turned over once or twice.  hjim
