[Healeys] 1960 Austin-Healey BT7 with 13,800 miles

[Charlie Baldwin]

Perry,
I'm sorry that I wasn't there on Friday morning to meet you.  Joe and I 
are actually co-owners of the car, but he doesn't really have much 
Austin-Healey experience and I've owned a '62 Tricarb BT7 since 1973.
No, we didn't sell the car at Hershey, but figure that it got some good 
exposure.  It's hard to know how much the economy problems had to do 
with what went on at Hershey, but it was very pleasant being there with 
all of the wonderful non-fall Hershey type weather that we had Thursday 
through Saturday.
The paint on the underside of the trunk lid is actually discolored due 
to the close proximity of the spare tire, which has just been sitting in 
the same spot for 48 years.
Thanks for your nice comments about the car.
Charlie

My son from Portland took a bunch of photos of various parts of the car and I hope to get a CD from him soon. Amazing how the doors shut with a reassuring "thunk" that I have not heard on original or restored cars for 40 plus years. There are some scratches here and there and a bit of thin faded paint on the inside of the boot lid but this one would be nice to have in a collection. I have not talked to the sellers agent Joe Lazenby since we got home yesterday to see if anyone bought the car since we looked at it. Regarding the price...beyond my limited checkbook but a rare find for the right person which Joe seemed ready to wait for.
