Cheers,

I will be going along with about 4 or 5 others from the Northeast Ohio Austin Healey Club. Here is a picture of what I'll be driving. This will be my first Conclave so I can't give any advice and am not doing concours.

Try posting your question to the Healey mailing list. Most of the concours committee guys are on that list. Rich Chrysler is particularly helpful

Steve - great looking Healey!
See you in the south land!

Derek - for sure, Rich has been very helpful to us!
Looking forward to meeting him.
Several others have been very forthcoming with information, and advise as to how to make our car better conform to the standards. It is hard working with just the paper books, even the pics from BCS can be tricky...... wish there was a place where pictures of Gold winner cars could be easily found! Well, I don't know how our car will do, but we sure are trying our best, and at least will be respectable as a good effort. Plus, we do have our pictures on line, anyway, for people to look at and comment on. Mistakes and all - there it is!
a la prochaine!

Rich is a great guy, give him my best regards and Good luck with the judging. Ive never attempted that, I saw a Sprite being judged once,(actually Rich was involved) it looked fantastic to me but it didnt even get bronze!.. OOps I dont think thats made you feel any better has it,... you'll be fine,,let us know what happens

I worked on Concours and had a chance to see Pete's car, but did not serve on the team that judged it. In case Pete is too modest to tell us, he won a Silver and it's a beautiful car indeed.

Congratulations on a job well done Pete!

Thank you, Michael! It was nerve racking, but exciting!
Very nice to meet people there, after getting to know someone here!
....and a fun time was had by all!
