[Healeys] Coronet Cream

[John Harper]

Ken

I already have your Batch Number, 4550. This was forwarded to me by Rich 
Chrysler in June 2008. I assume that you now have updated information 
because what I received from Rich had the original colour as White but 
with a query and the no information regarding the original trim colour. 
Now that you have a BMIHT certificate we can correct this.

So it appears that my assumption was wrong where I suggested that all 
Coronet Cream cars were in batch 4467. The best information I have is 
that batch 4467 ran from body number 663 to 1488. However there are gaps 
in our body numbers after this and before batch 4550 commenced at 1524 
but it certainly looks as if your car was built later than batch 4467 so 
my theory was wrong.

However your car is also an exception to the majority by having red 
trim. Is there any evidence that your car could have been a special 
order?

What we need to hear now is from owners with cars that were original and 
had Coronet Cream exterior and red trim.
