I had a chance to look at this car during the AACA Hershey meet a week ago. 
What a time capsule. My son from Portland took a bunch of photos of various 
parts of the car and I hope to get a CD from him soon. Amazing how the doors 
shut with a reassuring "thunk" that I have not heard on original or restored 
cars for 40 plus years. There are some scratches here and there and a bit of 
thin faded paint on the inside of the boot lid but this one would be nice to 
have in a collection. I have not talked to the sellers agent Joe Lazenby since 
we got home yesterday to see if anyone bought the car since we looked at it. 
Regarding the price...beyond my limited checkbook but a rare find for the right 
person which Joe seemed ready to wait for.

I've come into possession of a 1960 Austin-Healey BT7 with 13,800 
original miles.  It has original paint, seats, interior panels, carpet, 
top, tonneau cover, side curtains, side curtain bag, tools, all chrome, 
wheels & tires and has a factory hardtop in original condition (the 
wheels and tires are a bit rough looking).  The spare tire appears to 
have never been used. Hoses, belts, some suspension bushings have been 
replaced.  In order to drive it, it is currently shod with Minilite 
replicas with 205/65 tires.  These are not intended to go with the car.   
Also included are all of the original parts replaced.  The car is Old 
English White with a red interior with white piping in the seats.  The 
dash looks as new. 
All of the above are in very good condition along with the mechanicals. 
If you are interested in becoming the custodian of this surviving piece 
of history, we are accepting offers in keeping with its extremely rare 
original condition. 
The car will be displayed in the car corral at Fall Hershey (Hershey, PA 
USA), Oct. 8 - 11. 
Please email me for pictures or with any questions.
