John,

The gentleman's name you can't remember is Pete Groh of Ellicott City, 
MD.  His email address is [email-masked].  Hope this helps keeping 
the key blanks out of the trash!

Cheers,
Chuck

You can have them for the cost of the postage AND duty which will be US15.00 as I've already had them weighed at the post office.

Hi John.

If no one else wants the key blanks, I will pay whatever the cost to keep them out of the trash.
Just let me know.
I am in Missouri, USA.

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.

Sorry to about the possible demise of Pete Groh. Sadly, none of us can escap=
e =E2=80=98the end=E2=80=99 whenever it=E2=80=99s to be. As I said yesterday=
, Don Hiscock has kindly offered to unofficially import the keys when in the=
 UK next month. Looks as though we still need someone to put their hand up t=
o do the custodial bit on the longer term. I could of course chuck them out h=
ere to save Don and others the aggro but thought to offer them here first. T=
hanks to any who may have reposted my email of yesterday on to others for th=
eir information.
