Thank you for spreading that word, Mark. It is indeed important that cars
that no longer exist be documented. Too many of them have disappeared
without a trace already because no one bothered to keep a record of their
identities. It's also important that other enthusiasts provide the data to
a central location whenever they come across a car that is identifiable.
It's not possible for the registrars to find all the cars personally, and
they need all the help they can get. Of course, it would also help if all
registrars made their e-mail addresses available. The BT7 guy appears not
to have done that.
I'm amazed that there is any Healey still in a salvage yard that has any
useable parts left on it. Guess they are still out there....
Happy Healeydays!

I suggest that you send this car number to the Bt7 registrar to put in the
files of non operative cars. All registrars should have a list of these
cars as well as cars on the road and its up to other enthusiasts to supply
this info.
