[Healeys] BT7 The Netherlands

[Tom Felts]

I mentioned to him that when I was in Holland (military) in the mid-70's, I looked at and drove a Healey that was for sale.  I don't recall the gauges, but everything alse was the same as ours here.  The car needed much work and I turned it down.

And Jaap------I removed my wooden shoes to drive it:)--but there was a big cheese wheel in the boot:)

Shawn,
As you can imagine R.S. Stokvis & Zonen was at the time the official
importer for Austin in The Netherlands. As far as I know the AH's for the
Dutch market had their steering wheel on the left,  a speedo in kilometers
(KPH) and an oil pressure/water temp gauge in kilograms per square
centimeter/ degrees Celcius. No special pedal arrangement for driving with
wooden shoes....
Good luck with the restoration!
