Hi All,=C2=A0

Unfortunately, I don=E2=80=99tbelieve Pete is in the key business anymore a=
nd not sure he is even with us. I stoppedby his house (I was local in Maryl=
and) about 10 years ago to get some sparekeys for my TR6. He showed me arou=
nd his garage where he had an Austin Healy3000 and a TR4, that were in vari=
ous stages of being worked on but had not beenrun or driven in quite some t=
ime. He was not doing very well then, had lost hiswife and was getting up i=
n years. I helped him move some water bottles and hada nice chat with him, =
but you could tell things were winding down. I hope I amwrong.

You can have them for the cost of the postage AND duty which will be US15.0=

 that whoever pays the postage is going to get lumbered with import duty fo=

 as the keys have no value, duty is levied on the weight of the package and=
 that duty is paid to the US Embassy in London. If I haven't had an email f=
