"Fourintune
Healey in Vienna!"
Last month
we received an email from a man who had purchased a car that we restored
in 1992 for a gentleman from New Jersey. We knew the car had been sold
by the family after he died but imagine our surprise when the current
owner asking for records turned out to be from Vienna?
We located
the file and the original quotation which the new owner hopes will
enable him to register the car as a historical vehicle. In order to
obtain the historical classification, you must prove how many original
parts were used during the course of the restoration. Our thirty plus
page quotation itemizes all parts and notes which are "reproduction" pieces.
When I asked
the new owner to send photos of the car in Austria, I envisioned a
very scenic shot with perhaps those brown cows wearing the bells... |
