Hey Folks,

My British Motor Industry Heritage Trust Certificate came in the post today! :)

I was suprised by a couple things (like the car was listed as a
duotone, which tells me the car was repainted at least once).

1) Make & Model: Austin-Healey 3000 Mark I Four-Seater
2) Car/Chassis #: H-BT7-L/5479
3) Engine #:  29D-RU-H/6742
4) Body #: 5699
5) Specification: LHD, North AmericanExport
6) Colour: a)exterior: Duotone: Healey Blue & Ivory White
               b)trim: Blue
               c)hood (top): Blue
7) Date of Build: 18-23 November 1959
8) Date of Despach: 30 November 1959
9) Destination: Fort Worth, TX, USA
10) Details of factory fitted EQ: Wire Wheels, Adjustable Steering
column, laminated windscreen, overdrive, roadspeed tyres

I'm especially excited that the car was a duotone as I think that the
paired colours look best (personal opinion) and wanted to paint it
that way anyways. :)
Where it says, "hood (top)" I'm assuming they mean he convertible top, yes?

Jody
