Obtaining Concours Guidelines

Update for 2009

October, 2008

 

There are some important changes regarding the Concours Guidelines for next year.

 

1.  George Marinos, who has served as the Concours Committee Treasurer and contact for purchasing copies of both the Big Healey and Sprite Guidelines, has decided to step down after many years of service in this capacity.   He has done a terrific job and we will all miss working with him.

 

2.  The new person to contact to purchase copies from is:

 

Mike Osipik

39 East 55th Terrace

Kansas City, MO  64113 USA

 

mikeosipik@eartlink.net

816-333-2506

 

3.  The Guidelines will now be supplied on CD – no more hard copy.  This format will allow us to incorporate more color photographs, and greatly reduce the price.

 

4.  The new price structure for either the Big Healey or Sprite Guidelines, including postage, will be:

•   USA:  $20

•   Canada & Mexico:  $25

•   All other countries:  $27

 

 

If you wish to purchase both the Sprite and Big Healey versions at the same time, the additional cost for the second CD disk will just be $15 – no additional postage.

 

As in the past, Guidelines copies are for the use of the purchaser only, and not to be sold or otherwise distributed. 

 

Finally, many owners of Healeys, beyond just those preparing cars for Concours, might also consider obtaining copies, as they hold a wealth of information that can help you determine items that are correct, or not, for your car.  Many components often have been changed over time, and the more correct/original a car is when it is offered for sale, the better it will be received by prospective buyers, and the higher a price it should bring.  It also is easier (and thus less costly) for mechanics to trouble-shoot and repair a car where items are as-expected/original (based on shop manuals or parts lists).  And you may find things that you don’t think are correct may indeed be so, or even decide that you want to pick up for your car that odd tool or NOS bit you come across at swap meets.
