I bought my BT7 48 years ago from a delightful Irishman. He had bought =
it new. Unfortunately died a few years ago but when he was still around =
I would visit him periodically and over a glass of sherry (or two) he =
would recall stories about the car while in his ownership. One =
recollection was that while working late one evening in his Toronto =
office (he was an engineer), he heard a Healey start up and to his =
horror watched out the window as someone tore out of the parking lot in =
his car. He feared the worst as there had been a rash of sports car =
thefts and the kids who were stealing were joyriding for a few hours =
then driving them into Lake Ontario.
=20
The car was found by the police later that night on Lakeshore Road =
=E2=80=93 out of gas. The car probably dodged a bullet that night.

What is this a running theme. I purchased a BJ7 in the mid 1990s. =

interior had been stolen. It was in separate boxes waiting for me to =
finish the body. So now I have no seats, carpets, door cards or interior =
trim. It was all leather and worth several grand. That took the steam =
out of me finishing the car.=20
I'm retiring this spring so I hope to put the time (and money) into get =
it done. Well see if this happens or if I too end up selling and =
enjoying a different car. Though I could give it to a 20 something =
nephew has the skill to finish it. He is not yet shown interest in =
something like that, he's more into mid-80s pick-up trucks. But tastes =
change.
Good luck with the paring down of projects. Life gets shorter and we all =
have to decide what we want to spend our time doing. Driving a Bugeye is =
a lot more fun to most people than restoring a car.

What I was going to say was how similar your story is to mine. I bought =

neither of my son's wanted it. So I ended up selling it for what I could =

Anyway, what part of New Hampshire are you in? I'm on the Seacoast.
