Greetings all,
You sign your name with (non-concours and damn proud of it) I'm a bit
confused. I have been a concours judge for years, and concours/originality
has always been my interest. But I also agree 10000% with your above ratty
carpet comment. Of course, all Healeys original to Nasty Boys are to be
revered and enjoyed to the max. Any thing less would be a waste. You make it
sound like all Concours people snub their original NOS noses at none original
cars. Not true. Not by a long shot! I for one am a closet 1275/5 speed
Sprite wanna be. Not fair classifying Concours enthusiasts into snobby
nosed, demons. Granted some may be, but it has more to do with individual,
overall personalities, rather than their interests in Concours.
