[Healeys] BT7

[Perry]

Thanks Bob. Yes I should have caught a couple things before responding. The word sketch and Simon’s reference to the inside cover being inscribed with the car information.  My brain told me that there was a printed reference to the car shown on the cover. Wrong again. Also I should have pulled my copy of the Haynes manual off the shelf before responding. The wood dash is well beyond 16610.

Simon,

That VIN is in the registry, but no engine serial number.  The number 
you have is about right based on other cars.  The entry is from 1998 
with no contact info.

Perry,

Simon was referring to the illustration on the front cover of the 
manual.  Tri-carb with wood dash.

Cheers,
