[Healeys] Early Numbered BN7's

[Richard Collins]

My #440 was built between 26-31 March 1959 and sent to San Francisco May of 1959. It was registered as a 1960.  While I have the original owners name, I have been unable to track him down.  I am the 3rd owner; I bought it from the estate of the 2nd owner.  The car stayed on the West Coast its entire life until I brought it to KY in 2006. The only 100-6 part I have on it is the horn button. I have a lot of documents on it but gaps exist in its history.  For example I have some sense it is one of the first 10 BN7's built and was subsequently sent with the other 9  to the US West Coast for racing,  but I can't prove it.  I believe I have seen 2 or three other BN7 numbers lower than mine. 
 Anyone have any other history on these early BN7's?

Regards,
Richard of KY
BN7 440
