Yes, I would be royally p****d off. And I would say who I dealt with. I
suggest that 99% of the people on this list are honest, it's that other 1%.
Now I will also add, that as a buyer, you should know what things cost. If
it's too good to be true, it probably is. If it's so rare and precious to
command such a price, it's worth a trip or worth having someone else
investigate on your behalf. (Members of the Healey club as usually more
than willing.) I would also add that one person's trash is another's
treasure.
I don't know what this lesson cost you, but look at it this way, at least
you didn't buy an Eagle Premier.
Best of luck,
Martyn
