Amelia Island Auction 100M Results

Hi Sopp,

I would suggest getting in touch with Bill Meade of the 100M registry. I had posted the following in another thread relating to a BN1 100M question.
"....We have a car in the St. Louis area that is a BN1 and has been certified by the 100 M "LeMans" registry. To partially quote from a letter written by Bill Meade to the current (second) owner (since Jan '58):
"However, your car is actually in a rarer group of only 14 known cars that have documentation to have been modified to Le Mans spec by Healey prior to the factory run of 640 cars." Seems as if at least 14 BN1's might qualify as a "factory M".

Your registration number is considerably lower than his BN1 number, but I have no idea how significant that is. As mentioned above, documentation is key to establishing the provenance,
 
I will soldier on with this restoration.
I will do this car the justice it deserves.
I will question my sensability only after it is done.

Thank you for the responses,
Sopp
 
I guess the same would apply to the cars being painted Gold metallic beige that didn't come that way from the factory.
If this is true, my gold with red interior just shot up in value.
