Rick,
You are fully right. On this side of the big pond we do not care that much
about a factory 100M or an "ordinary" 100 or whatever "Le Mans kit" by whom
fitted. The quality the car is restored makes the winner.
I know of a handful BN1s officially factory sold with the Le Mans kit. As far
as I know the cold air boxes of these cars were of zinc instead of aluminium
of the later 100M cars. I have seen one of these factory 100 "Le Mans kit"
cars. And BMIHT knows of them as you can get a certificate which states
"factory fitted Le Mans kit".
But anyway, for me these cars are 100s and nothing different (I think the same
of the so called 100Ms).
