[Healeys] BN1

[Josef.Eckert at t-systems.com]

Hi Gergo,
First thing, an early BN1 is different to a late BN1. So the earlier the more
difficult to get the right parts. As I know you want to sell the car after
restoration, I can only recommend to you - forget it anyway. I guess you want
to keep it half way original, then you can`t win. All parts you need and new
parts do not fit, are very expensive (compared to 6cyl. parts) and extremely
difficult to get, at least here in middle Europe. You need to buy on ebay when
offered from US sellers or frequently travel to UK autojumbles.
So to make a list you can start with: engine parts, gearbox, rear axle (early
cars), suspension, windscreen, hood frame, instruments, bumpers, etc. etc.

Betreff: [Healeys] BN1

I would like to ask the opinion of the List.

It looks like I have found a suitable project car. It is a BN1, with a good
frame, maching numbers, straight body, but unfortunatly quite incomplete.
What are the parts that are inobtainable for the BN1s? What are the major
"pits" of the BN1 to avoid?

I would be gratefull for any help.
